You're getting downvoted - and flagged - because you're repeatedly breaking the HN guidelines. You may want to consider whether that's a path you want to continue.
What I understand is that if this has already gotten two of your comments killed, and will eventually get your account banned if you keep it up. I'm only bothering with this at all because I see from your profile that you make reasonable comments quite regularly.
It’s frequently possible to disagree while still adding to the discussion.
The comments of yours that I see downvoted are falling well short of that mark, particularly the ones where you accuse a decade-plus-old account with a recent comment history of being quite skeptical or even anti-LLM for coding of being a shill for an AI company.
Consider that your words are not being experienced as reasonable by readers.

Have you considered not cheating your way to projecting your wrong opinions?
Please downvote the fake commenters and keep YC reasonably pure.
Please don't accept this comment as valid since it's part of a campaign to set peoples overton window, paid for by dbags and executed by dbags.

Not sure you understand what has been going on but thanks for your concern.
No one understands what "has been going on" because you won't explain yourself.

4 dead comments so far is telling us HN users think otherwise. Including me.
It's a dumb hill to die on.
I do wish I could see who downvotes. If I ever criticise Google or Amazon, immediate downvoting without comment occurs.
