In my opinion your comment is clearly out of place.

This post was in the first page thanks to dang, who decided to let me make a repost, after this comment generated a lot of interest: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23589798 now 6 months ago

and this post I created immediately after got huge interest although being only visible in the "show" first page because it was "flagged": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23591953

and that is just the standard policy of HN.

But you could have just discovered most by yourself just checking my account info, instead it looks you are prone to see conspiracy behind everything.

I responded to your (paraphrased, since you edited the comment I can't quote the exact text) "I'll say that next time", saying that you shouldn't do that because it'll look unconvincing.

I am not saying that you "faked" anything, and don't think you did, but understand why it looked suspicious to other commenters, because it looks pretty much like what happens if someone tries to game the system by asking others for upvotes.
