Yes. Vouching exists to restore dead posts which are actually good posts for HN.

The problem is by then most of the damage is done. HN algorithms clearly work off some amount of time based decay. It basically suggests getting a stable of people to vouch when whenever you post something.

That's true sometimes but not all the time.

Please don't get stables of people to do anything on HN.
