'Are you sponsored by Google?' I think so. I've been accused of being an 'anti-google astroturfer' before. 'Gosh that's odd', I thought. Then I read the posts written by my accuser. Pro-google, down the line - echoing PR talking points. Normal people don't do this. I do think Google hires PR flacks to post here on HN.



That just makes you sound as bad as capo.

We live in a world where weird fanboys exist for just about anything, including Google and Microsoft.


Absolutely true, but we also live in a world in which people are paid to do this.


Seems more likely he is just a regular Google employee who supports what they are doing, albeit a bit aggressively. There are many of them on HN. Not sure why either of you are assuming malice here.


"hires"? No.

Fanboys work for free.

(From all directions, not just pro-google.)
