alt Hacker NewsI have never been in this situation before but I do agree with you, and honestly it feels very bad. I saw the comment when it was posted and, perhaps naively, thought "oh well, no one will care - its just another fluff comment".
Fast-forward to seeing that comment climb up the ranks, posted by a person who has 270x my karma, who seemingly gets upvotes by just.. writing things? no proof? no rationale? nothing?
Yeah, feels bad. I'm super happy so many are enjoying the article, and this situation can't take too much away from that, but man.. discouraging for sure.
Don’t worry, everyone who reads the comment will read yours as well, which is itself interesting.

Again, don’t worry too much about that. The story got upvoted to the front page and lots of people will read it, that’s what matters. Not that a misguided post got a bunch of upvotes.
