Apparently they also built a bot (using Vercel functions) to track comments on HN re: Vercel, and yours got featured by the founder:

Will be open-sourcing this soon! Let me know if you're interested (lee at vercel.com).


Not that it wasn't possible before, but quick-deploy Slack bot opens the gates for spam upvoting/downvoting either from the employees or serves as an easy tool for marketers to spam replies about specific topics.

I think open-sourcing it wouldn't be beneficial. More work for @dang to moderate the content and feedback to remain organic.


HN already detects voting rings and responds with lower weights for the votes from the ring.


Good luck detecting that
