alt Hacker NewsYou're only hurting yourself if you decide there's some wild conspiracy afoot here to pay shills to tell people that coding agents are useful... as opposed to people finding them useful enough to want to tell other people about it.

There isn't a conspiracy, just humans responding to incentives. You've become something of an AI influencer and so you are naturally incentivized to promote it. This is true despite a lack of monetary incentive btw. Others desperately want it to be true so they try to convince others that it's true - you see this happen time and again with operating systems, programming languages etc.
The actual conspiracy is that AI companies are engaging in stealth marketing campaigns. Considering all the other unethical stuff they do it's a pretty tame one to believe.
oh there's no need to pay YOU
you're naive and misguided enough to do the tech-oligarchs bidding for free!
