Did you ask people to vote and comment on this story? That generally doesn't go well.

See moderator dang's comments: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=sockpuppet%20author:dang&sort=...

Orthogonally, the submitter however appears to be working on the project based on the changes to the site incorporating my comment on a previous submission regarding sidebar items.

Hey Dan

The 2 comments are us asking for feedback and 2 are friends which we have asked to delete their comments but we have not been pushing for votes.

Thanks for the heads up!

yeah it's clearly fake, judging by the upvotes and fake comments.

We launched Adsvise to help designers & marketers get through the mental maze of digital ad specs. It would be great to hear what channels you think we should be adding and what tools you would like to see next.

Nice, really good job.

That's cool. Bookmarked it already!

This is super useful, I can only recommend!

Bias but I love this. This is that moment when you build something that solves a problem for you (me) personally :)
