Is this a script-kiddy DDOS (when many users run it) of someone's email? This doesn't seem very HN.

Edit: No, the email is blank, so it's just a regular DOS, unless his email is public somewhere and everyone will fill in the same email. Still not very HN, but just bad, not malicious.

The irony in you determining what is and isn’t HN is if it’s “many users” or “many companies” spamming someone.

I would assume YC-funded AI crawlers spamming a website is “very HN.”
