Says the guy whose comments are magically upvoted 6 times, every single comment. I don't know who you have to pay to get that unfair advantage, but I've seen several prominent users have this privilege (like @pjmlp x9). Also the opposite, users who are instantly downvoted on every comment. I'm guessing there are rings of puppet users who automatically upvote users such as yourself to amplify their opinion.
I have made over 60 comments in this thread, and only 2 have a score over 6. Most are between 0 and 2, several have gone all the way down to -4 and some have been straight up flagged to death and won't even show up unless you've configured HN accordingly.
If there's an upvoting ring here, they're doing a terrible job.
