Looks like the creator of this website has a history of using sockpuppets when he posts on HN.

Strange how people create new accounts just to say positive things about this site...

Hi Robert, Is there something wrong with asking one's friends to sign up and share their experiences and give us an upvote. Not sure why you're going through all this trouble to figure out what is generally an obvious thing for any site seeking traction to do.

If you aren't aware of why asking your friends to post reviews about your site (without disclosing their relationship to you) is unethical, I'm not sure I can explain that to you.
