You tend to see that more for the more high margin and branded supplements.

The profit margins on creatine are not high.

Do you?? Show me an HN thread where half the comments are paid for

How can you accurately detect what is and isn't a not?

You seem very confident you can tell the difference so I thought I'd ask first.

[computerphage]

In my view, you're the one claiming to be able to tell the difference! You said, "You tend to see that more..."

...which I took to mean that there were threads where you can look at the comments and categorize them into the two categories and then assert that the size of the paid comments category was larger on posts for high margin than it is for low margin.

Like, it makes sense that the incentive is stronger in that case, but that's not what you said. You said "you tend to see that more"

[pydry]

If I did show you such a thread you'd likely just say "yeah I don't think any of them are paid".

So what's the point? You've just confirmed very clearly that your criteria for what constitutes a paid comment is your idiosyncratic opinion. you refused to give criteria beyond "convince me".
