People are likely downvoting you because allegations of astroturfing aren't allowed, you are supposed to just report what you suspect.
Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents, and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email hn@ycombinator.com and we'll look at the data.
That's a good point, although given I'd never seen this rule I question if it is commonly known enough that it is actually the reason I'm being downvoted.
Do you not think what has happened today is suspicious? The Gemini 3 posts are, to my eye, out of hand..
