I've never heard or seen anything like what you suggest.

It has been admitted I think that one is aware of certain bots (not affiliated with YC) that vote in certain directions.

I think I have even seen one popular HNer admit that he thought there was a bot who would upvote all his answer irregardless of who low quality they were.

Maybe someone has something like that and have pointed it at you.

More likely though you annoyed someone and they went in to your profile and looked at your other answers.

Edit: I looked into your comments and here are two notes.

1. Your comments are a mixed bag. Saying Trump brought war to American soil for example isn't anywhere near true and also inflammatory.

2. Some of them are insightful but ires one side without delighting the other. The result is you get a downvote from those who are annoyed and no support from the other side.

I've been hit by this a lot. Don't care to much.




> Saying Trump brought war to American soil for example isn't anywhere near true and also inflammatory.

I believe that he was quoting the New Yorker there

He posted the link as well

If there was war on American soil - which there isn't - I'd actually think media was more responsible for bringing it than Trump.


Then downvote the media, not me

Anyway: Chicago, June 2020, 18 people killed in 24 hours

Worst event in 60 years

Los Angeles is gonna exceed 300 homicides in a year

Last time it happened was 20 years ago

These are war numbers to me, as Italian

Rome is the same size of Chicago and had 11 homicide in a year

Italy has 60 million citizens and there were "only" 276 homicides in a year, Los Angeles is a 5 million people city
