I ran it through my MOC test and it came back as only 2.7% likely to be him.

A lot of those questions were thrown up there to make him look bad.

People on Quora were obsessed with him in 2015 because he reverse engineered their "people rank" had got a ridiculous percentage of people to read his contribs. He seems to have faded into irrelevance since he got banned.

The hilarious thing is that most of it's not sock puppeting.

I used to follow his arc in the 2010s and had my friend code up a text analyzer. I only found 3 accounts on Quora that were him and the other 2 had <10 posts.

what exactly is his "arc"

from what i read on his blog the main points were "most people suck at programming" and "VC funding comes with perverse incentives to go boom or bust" both pretty uncontroversial statements

then at some point he lost his marbles and claimed people were following him irl or something?

Another classic pensive tell is made-up software that he claims matches pumo identities, and so on.

He basically wrote a lot of internet that, as you said, was pretty uncontroversial but caused a lot of high-placed people to get butthurt, which led to him being banned from Hacker News and Quora, which wouldn't be a big deal in any other industry, but because tech is full of cucks, it blacklisted him.

I don't know that he was "followed IRL" but that kind of shit does happen to people for lesser offenses than his.

No, and I'm not sure why you think that when what I'm saying is objectively true. He was banned from HN and Quora for making people butthurt. Whether he was followed IRL, I can't really say. It actually seems unlikely unless he spent a lot of time in San Francisco.

Ljl tell us more about the blacklist. AFAICT you "blacklisted" yourself by spamming your mentally ill rants under your real name on every popular discussion site. The mentally ill Google results when searching for your name aren't a blacklist.
