People are responding that its 'okay'.

But the issue isnt that they posted the link, its that they likely are using bots to upvote as well.

I have a hard time understanding if people hate google or if Firefox is advertising here. Similar with Apple.

EDIT: Basically cant trust HN either. What is the solution to astroturfing?

Doesn't seem the case to me. The majority of BBC submissions, even by the OP, sit only at a few points.
