If throwaway account "comments" are a problem then all comments are a problem.
All systems (like the Stock Market) have mostly irrational actors already, the 'system' needs to smooth that out and get rational actors or rational data to the top. If it can't do it at the base level then it's already broken.
If you documented an example it'd help your case.
[edit] "all commenting in the same direction" I assume you mean negative, since that's the typical uneducated vapid bot-like comments you get on crypto. But it did occur to me later maybe you actually mean positive. Again why you need to document rather than having people do tasseography, you being a bot-like could be in the tea leaves on the second reading.
That is the tool I'd use to manipulate HN.
Also can't flag, vouch and upvote in practice.
