nicorojas9, alan_arguello, jgarzonebrath and oarojas were all accounts which are between 2 year and 90 day old without any comments.

Suddenly they decided to comment for the first time on this specific submission.

And all within one hour.

And all to basically write the same thing.

The Watermelon authors are lucky or maybe it is Friday the 13th.

Always happy to verify my identity Loic.

I saw that Watermelon was on HN and I did made a first comment, because I have been following the project and I like to support other founders who happen to be my friends.

And indeed, they are "lucky" to have people that like the team and project. Hope that it is the same case with you and people that you know :).

Then, as a good friend, take the time to provide a comment with more insights. We will all benefit from them. I looked at the comments because the website has not a lot of information and I was expecting to learn more from the comments.

Note: This is the first time I looked at the origins of comments in a submission because they really looked like fake comments and this annoyed me terribly as I want HN to stay free of them.

That's true thanks. I'm a heavy user/consumer of YC content, SUS and events, but not of HN. Indeed it would have been more useful for both the community and the team to provide an insightful comment.

Anyways, hope you get the opportunity to try Watermelon and give them an unbiased opinion (as I probably would do), which will help them :)

Wow this Sherlock Holmes-level research.

Our close friends did notice we launched. Lol.

It isn't very hard to click on the usernames after you see some suspicious messaging from similar accounts.
