I don't see evidence of shillage in this thread. Most of the users commenting about how they like/need the product haven't even voted for the submission. Also, they're well-established HN users with unrelated histories and (as far as I can tell) are coming from unrelated locations. Also, shills don't start Electron flamewars.
If you're worried about abuse, you should email [email protected] with your concerns so we can investigate—we always look into it when people ask us to, and we tell YC founders doing Launch HNs to strictly avoid having friends/fans/users post booster comments.
