That's a lot of HN though, you'll see people talk about tangentially related things to the main topic, and never address the linked topic.

I've learned to accept it as is, and not to worry about it too much.

Some news.ycombinator readers may actually work for Facebook, and have a direct financial stake in the outcome of this matter.

It sounds like a conspiracy, but it's possible. You know the old saying about "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it"

Not just employees, there's basically financial incentives for anyone who holds facebook stock.

Speculating about sock puppets is not only not interesting, it’s against the guidelines. If there’s a post you want to make a substantive argument against, please reply to it directly.

I don't think he's suggesting sock puppets as much as employees using their personal accounts, which I don't think is the same.
