I always wondered how the heck do people get away with that. HN mods lacking allowing those sort of projects to the top and legit bot likes and comments. Craziness. Put's all the projects and posts worthy of eyes to the dead bottom.
some people don't, but there's survivorship bias at play here. whenever you suspect foul play, email the mods at hn@ycombinator.com, they're quite responsive
