"Dead-internet theory"

But good job calling out the upvote spam. I re-linked the image under the job posting.

Hey, thanks for calling me out on that. Looking at it with a fresh set of eyes and you're right, that was a mistake for me to post. I'll do better next time.

The funniest part is actually specifying "Enter CTRL-F and type in (company name)". For what role would you hire where the applicant won't know how to do a search in a browser?

Not trying to defend anyone but (at least to me), the Ask HN: Who's hiring always opens up with comments sorted with latest first i.e. sorted by time vs by upvotes.

Maybe its the extension I use or the default setting. Not sure.

I don't think that's entirely the case; it seems votes are weighed much lower than normal, but they're still weighed. An example would be this post, which is quite high up even though there are many newer posts.
