Ask HN: Remove Filler LLM Comments

3 points by HNIsUnusable 5 days ago | 2 comments

Would HN consider removing the many filler LLM comments on this site if I pay $9/mo to only see real people posts?

Nothing worse than getting an article for a product I just bought and seeing the comments full of talking points already - nobody cares that much about toothpaste!

Occasionally HN seems like it’s offline and I’m not talking to anyone but LLM generated comments.

If you notice one, you can send the username to hn@ycombinator.com so dang/tomhow can take a look. (Many of the bots are already banned.)

Between the ads and shadowbans I very well may be!

Cool site guys (not)!
