Again, my argument is simple, how can EVERY post about any certain thing (not just for a _for-profit_ company like Tailscale but in general) can go to the frontpage within the first minutes every time for more than 10 times in a row over the short course of the past 3 months in a website that has the reputation of near impossibility to have your post on the frontpage even once except maybe for SHOW HN threads and where a flood of new threads gets posted every 10 minutes and almost every post gets buried immediately without getting a single upvote even if it was very well written.

Is there documentation for "EVERY"?

I looked via a simple algolia search for "tailscale" and found relatively minimal posts but also a number with very few upvotes: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

The "every" claim is false. This is a single user's personal war which has for whatever reason gotten trained on this company for the time being, and will no doubt move to some other target, since it's had other targets in the past.

The "every" claim is correct if you subtract this one exception https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22618517 which happens to be the least interesting post that really won't do much help for the company. Otherwise I stated all links above and you won't reply to it. And the real question that you still won't answer, how many very young/unknown companies have their posts on the HN's frontpage more than 4 times in less than a month with a 100% hit rate? give me other examples so that we know this is really so natural.

So like not every then?

my reply is here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22762174 not every post about their company contains the word Tailscale in the title.
