Title should be "77% of users surveyed...".

User surveys seem like a really poor metric here.

Also, being posted by the article creator, 12 upvotes and only 1 comment seems to suggest gaming the system.

OP has a 100% success rate getting a bunch of upvotes which can be a sign of foul play: https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=martin_tipgain

And at least one account helping out with comments exclusively on his submissions: https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=Kaibert123

YC founders usernames appear as a different color to other YC founders and some percentage of them probably upvote every post they see.

So HN is an YC founders's bookmark site. Fool of me thinking this was a community.
