Ask HN: How do we deal with "hacking" Hacker News?

1•jumploops•47m ago
Howdy folks!

I just stumbled across a post[0] on Reddit, in which a user asked an AI model to promote his vibecoding project.

The agent submitted links to a bunch of sites, and the top site was HN with 1.5k views.

Color me surprised, as I've seen an explosion of LLM-content on other more popular platforms, but HN has usually been better than most.

How do we deal with this in the future?

Is flagging enough?[1]

[1]I believe I found the post, which was already flagged when I discovered it, but I'll refrain from sharing here.

People submitting posts to HN automatically has been a thing; the rise of AI agents hasn't changed that and has not affected HN's "immune system". People who need agents to growth hack tend to have crappy sites that already signal said immune system so it works out.

1.5k views is not a lot of views and is more damning by faint praise.

If the contnet aligns with the interests of this community as apparently it did generation a bunch of views that I'll take your word for, then if it really a problem? If the community does not like something they can ignore downvote and flag and it will go wherever the crap goes.
