Here's what an organized Substack / HN plagiarism campaign looks like
Someone is plagiarizing blog posts at scale, using many of different throwaway HN accounts and fake Substack blogs.
They appear to be going through old Hacker News submissions, finding the source pages that were submitted, and then publishing those posts on new Substack blogs that they created.
The most recent one, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40162930 , was stolen from https://web.archive.org/web/20110416092916/https://jinfiesto...
Here's when the real post was submitted to HN, back in 2011: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2440364
OP, would you care to share more about your scam? What do you get from it?
Here's other examples where they did the same thing using different Substack blogs and different HN accounts - this is just a subset:
