Hacker News Reader

Probably some Slopcoded bot which posts fake comments to drive people to their content.

After all, if you’re paying hundreds of millions to buy these shitty podcasts, you might as well host some bots.

Account is from 2016 with 6k karma? : doubt:

Why assume people would not buy and sell Hacker News accounts?

Seems unlikely. I had a hell of a time finding someone to sell me this one.

Did you even check the link? It's a podcast from Cal Newport, a quite known figure (at least in software engineering / compsci circles). So it's not exactly a random shitty podcast. And, it's also (obviously) not my content.

I hadn't heard of him until he got famous last month for slagging off the AI industry.
