(Unrelated to main topic) Why is number of dead comments so high here? Do bots search for keywords that may increase views like "starlink" or something?
I choose to believe HN flame wars are still 100% organic. It is "just" immigration from Reddit. Ars Technica also has more trolls in comments under any Musk related topics.
You are right, 5 comments by 2 new users. But looking at "Why We Spiral", which has a similar number of comments, it has a single dead comment by an older account.

I see just 2 users with dead comments at the moment, one of them (a brand new account) just spammed a bunch of posts.
it's just 2 users, no?
