Ask HN: Do Something about Bots

6 points by gregdaniels421 32 days ago | 4 comments

Super low effort tumbler posted allegedly about Anime UI, had hardly any actual pictures, most were not relevant. Lots of bot comments. Plugs for a graphics tablet. Come on man, this place used to not be shit. I have new account and ate a ton of bot downvotes.

Did it ever occur to you that perhaps people didn't appreciate such a dismissive, and aggressive attitude?

You likely got downvoted/flagged here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49140552) because it is disproportionately aggro and against HN guidelines.

Also you can't do the "this used to be an actual place where posts meant something" bit when your account is 3 months old.

Posted my (not startup) project on here, instantly got 6 emails from bots trying to sell me things!

I don't doubt it, and that super isn't what people want here.
