I have witnessed obvious and systematic synthetic upvotes of HN posts. Over and over. I don't think the site has enough protections in place.

Maybe have YC invest in some startups combatting this using machine learning?

(Given the focus of HN it's typically some product being pushed, though. Not a politician.)

It is machine learning, not machine telepathy or machine precognition. Without causality you just automate superstition.
