Exactly.

I'm sure they are trying, but knowing how under-resourced HN is by YCombinator (barely any staff, handful of mods who are only really doing this because of close ties to old school YC, only really surviving because it's PG's baby) I don't think much will change.
I want to keep attending demo day so I won't say more.
It's just weird that a bot or political campaigners would think they would sway opinions with one sentence "Reddit-like" comments, since HN isn't like that normally. Also who actually gets swayed? This green guy who's mic-dropping his comments are surely not swaying anybody.
I just hope the mods start upping the bar somehow. The one line mic drops are what make Reddit fairly high noise and low quality unless you really know what you're searching for.
