OP might be some sort of content farming sockpuppet. No activity other than this post, and this was posted within a minute of a (now deleted) similarly vacuous post from a different account with no prior site activity as well.
speculating, but perhaps establishing presence and getting karma is the purpose of this post. And if it was upvoted, than future posts (on many sites, not LW, because it has a smaller and more active voting populace and much more aware admins) will be able to contain spam without being auto-filtered.
Well, I hope you’re right because I’d feel bad if someone tried to write something useful for us and it was so bad the comments are just speculation about whether the person is a spammer.
I’ll keep on assuming people are actually trying though and try to provide constructive feedback and encouragement because the demand for LW posts outstrips supply. Even if the person is a spammer, perhaps being more encouraging and constructive will make others who are hesitant to post more comfortable. And if the person is not a spammer, they can use the feedback to improve on their next post and hopefully iterate until their posts become really good.

What would be the purpose of doing such a thing? There is no link in the writeup which would indicate farming backlinks for SEO
