OC was registered in 2016 though? What do new accounts have to do with this?

I am talking about my general impression not this particular occurence. I have a suspicion that someone/some entity is buying old accounts to bypass the new accounts penalty. I even created (https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/hn-users-filter/ine...) to filter these accounts/comments (disclaimer: vibe-coded)

Just because someone has a take different to yours doesn't mean they are a bot or used in some mass manipulation effort.

What benefit exactly is achieved by selling a 2016 account (decade old) to then post about Apple potentially releasing high memory Macbooks next year?

This sort of elitism is the same nonsense that killed StackOverflow.
