Wow, I was unprepared for how incredibly obvious and embarrassingly fake that comments section is lol.
"Thanks for taking the time to discuss this, I feel strongly about it and love learning more on this topic. If possible, as you gain expertise, would you mind updating your blog with more information? It is extremely helpful for me."
Complete with spam link I've removed for safety. What a farce. How does content like this make it onto Hacker News? Probably bought fake votes too. Posted by an account with no history, created today. hmmm....
Those kind of comments are not paid comments, but just a way to get spam links on a site. My personal website (which has comments hidden, but clearly the API still works) is completely filled with comments like that.
