These are real people dude. I know some of them. Some are users or friends who came to comment on our post. They aren't bots and neither am I. Just new to HN.

@tomhow emailing to verify that I am real, the comments on my post are not bots and I can verify whatever you need me to. Annoying to be flagged when I am just new here and trying to be part of the community.

Never said you're a bot or that they're not real people. They're mostly people you know or your sockpuppets. Most people who do this are real people.
