Ok so, different take - if this what people call "gaming the system" I'm all for it.

All this article says is that hackernews likes interesting, informative posts that actually tell a real story. And I for one am here for that all day. So yes, everyone take this strategy and make great content.

But how long until someone misreads this and understands a ChatGPT-based bot is what they need, to summarize news and spam HN continuously?

I'm sure lots of people spam HN, but it doesn't get upvoted.
