This whole things feels like an ad.

  Also submitted by a "Customer acquisition consultant to B2B tech companies." (info in the profile) and 2 Netlify people are here to respond to questions within 20 minutes of posting. I could be wrong, maybe it's just a complete coincidence or maybe gk1 did submit a real/"natural" post for Netlify. But it does sound like an ad that misses quite a few of known host sites almost on purpose. I mean, the 3rd link to "static site hosting" on google is amazon. (1st netlify)

    Also suspicious is that the blog only has three short posts, the oldest of which is in June. Two of the posts are on static sites, one of which is the one in the OP. There are also multiple issues with the Projects section on the author's homepage, including multiple sites with descriptions of "This is an example description," and one broken link. EDIT: Looking at the OP's submission history, he has 6 submissions about or related to Netlify in the past 30 days.

        Previously, when I've noticed flagrant violations (e.g. HN account that has only ever submitted articles at example.com, never commented, participated, etc.), I've e-mailed dang (hn@) and those accounts have been taken care of pretty quickly.
