Sorry in advance for the grumpy response, but I hate articles like this and I detest the manipulation of an organic voting mechanism for self-promotion.

I know this is the Internet we have to live with, but this kind of stuff just makes it a worse place to be.

Well then again, the articles they write and post (seem?) To have value, as they are written "with reaserach, without bs" and on newsworthy subjects...

I see this less as "gaming HN" than "realising what the niche is" and fulfilling the niche. I guess I'm fine with someone posting first about a subject that will be there anyway? Maybe I'm not seeing something.

if they were informative and relevant the community would naturally upvote them, notwithstanding the manipulation efforts. the upvoting of some of the secondary comments on critical comments also seems pretty shady NGL
