   This person has over 1000 submissions. Going for the quantity-first approach I guess...

   Edit: following up my less productive comment with a productive one: this ToS update was crowd-sourced diff treasure-hunt with, at the end, no treasure to be found. These ToS changes are really quite unremarkable. I wonder which change of terms OP decided were interesting enough to post about.

      There's at least 10 other accounts who do the same

         This account has 50 submissions in the last two hours! [Edit: not the parent; the posting account]

         I don’t know why GP’s comment was flagged because submitting at a rate of 25 submissions PER HOUR is not done out of a genuine desire to share something that may be of interest to fellow human beings. Not even for personal bookmarking

            Some accounts have a clearly more privileged status here and are allowed to upload content without limits - especially from big outlets.

               Still why does a comment noticing that get flagged?

               I cannot imagine it’s Dang doing that, he consistently comes across as much too reasonably for that.

               Does that mean flagging is automated when criticizing ‘big outlets’ spamming HN?!? (The spamming account comes across as a person from their bio)

                  And now this honest question is getting down-voted!! What’s going on?
