uhm, 13 people upvoted the single comment of this newly created account
How do you know how many people upvoted it?
User has one comment and their karma is listed as "14" in their profile.
HN is recently absolutely chock full of brand new accounts agreeing with and upvoting each other. The "new" section is repo after repo created a handful minutes ago with AI slop.
I imagine this is going to get a lot worse before it gets any better.
