every conversation of note here on HN is heavily manipulated too. any discussion platform where accounts can promote or demote other messages are all subject to rampant manipulation and propaganda.

Niche subjects are much nicer because there's often no incentive to manipulate.

there is a big incentive to manipulate HN though. it's not so niche either. lobste.rs is niche

If you're discussing products sure. But what incentive is there to manipulate discussing the rust language? It's free.

Anything to do with money being made will have manipulation, niche or not.
