Those 2 comments are from a month ago, on the same day, and my point was he was spamming those threads with basically the same comment, and he links often to his site and his posts are all about his software. Both of my replies you link have positive counts (with sure had plenty of downvotes as he had positive upvotes), and even now after your link probably added more downvotes to mine. And other commenters in those threads agree with me.

Why do you care so much about his posts? It's not a bad benchmark, it clearly isn't saturated, and allows models to be vibe-compared over time.
He has a direct financial incentive to comment every post with his links. Other users doing the same get shadowbanned quite fast.
It doesn't make sense that most of comments in his threads now are about saturation of the tests but we can't be saturated by the posts about the tests?
I certainly appreciate your care for this site, and am grateful for your having defended me as you describe. That's all good! It just doesn't change the moderation point in this particular case.
