Surely, you could just wait until people have had time to read through it all and analyze it. By asking before it can reasonably even be read you're inviting half-baked responses.
Hahahah, yeah that’s it mate. Hacker News is on the forefront of the infowars. This article is an absolute joke. The author has terrible reasoning skills. I’m glad to see that this has been flagged.
This breaks the HN guidelines, which ask to assume good faith and not insinuate astroturfing or shilling unless you have actual evidence. Please don't do this again.
No doubt nefarious actions are real but internet users have a far greater tendency to project it onto people who simply have a different view than they do. We all need to guard against this.

Lots of innuendo, with few specifics. Seems mostly credible -- well known or unsurprising information -- but whispered in hushed tones.
The unaware can laugh all they want but the information war is real and HN is quite popular.
