It feels very fake and theatrical to me, almost like a wrestling ring. That makes it entertaining at times, but anonymity also means no accountability. I'm far more inclined to believe someone on HN who are at least willing to risk their reputation on a claim.

On Blind, you can go ahead and claim you make $600k salary working 4 days/week after 18 months of grueling interviews. Write up whatever fan fiction as long as it makes sense.
