&gt; <i>Are you a sockpuppet?</i><p>Accusations of astroturfing, sockpuppetry, and shillage are not allowed in HN arguments unless you have evidence. Someone disagreeing with your view doesn&#x27;t count as evidence. So please don&#x27;t do this.<p>If you want to understand our thinking on this, I&#x27;ve posted about it many times, e.g. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=9277068">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=9277068</a> and the links back from there.
