If vote brigading is the main way for products to make front page (per the original article), then this type of behavior follows logically. Chances are 90% of those commenters did not actually try the product itself.
"great product! awesome team! :)"
"Love these guys and the future of work looking so beautiful"
"This is awesome"
"this is awesome"
"Probably one of my favourite teams lately."
"this is wonderful. Thank you for this. Can't wait to start contributing, if that ever becomes a possibility."
What I'm amazed at is that very few people actually comment on the value/benefits of the product and focus more on the (1) team building it (2) the design/beauty of the landing page (3) a virtual high five. It seems a little...backwards...no?
