So having this mentality, HN should also ban any links to non-free books ( e.g. amazon ), links to apps and any other websites that offer a paid service / content, which you have to consume in order to be an active participant in the conversation, happening in the comments.
I don't agree with this position.
- oneeyedpigeon 10y agoTBH, I don't see how a link to a book page on amazon would result in a productive discussion on HN - is there a precedent? I wouldn't ban apps/websites that offer a paid service, only those that require one. And I'm willing to row back slightly from an outright ban, as I've said in other comments.
