This could be ok if he was doing an experiment about HN. These tricks of asking your buddies to upvote and retweet seems against the spirit of HN. I would be interested to see what the other HNers think.

For people not aware of that site that want to see the content, just scroll up to the top in the list of what looks like comments.

After 4 visits, and clicking in some places i finally got it... I must be dumb or something.

It's OK while it is sensible (after all, you will inform your friends you have published a new blog post or whatever) and not some heavy "please upvote" campaign.

I completely agree with that. But it seems that his "supporters" were invited at waves to give his post a boost.

I don't think I have the mental bandwidth but if someone wants to collect the data I'm sure it will be interesting.

I get giddy about all kinds of empiricism, but I submitted this meta-item because I thought it was apropos given recent and ongoing interest in the ebb and flow of how HN ranks items.
