Come on man, 4 submissions in 5 days all leading to your startup's website? And a profile created 5 days ago with zero comments on anything you didn't post?
You could at least try to make it look like you're doing more than promoting your startup.
- aeronautic 9y agoBeen an avid HN reader for ages, but been seriously heads down doing the startup thing for about a year with zero time for blog or posting. Insane hours. Started surfacing a month ago so I can do more than just code and wanted to share a bit. Not trying to hide the company, in fact pretty proud of it and the new things we're doing. But we are very early stage and still in beta. I do want to add value through the posts and discussion like this regardless.
- andrewstuart 9y agoI never heard any rules about these things. If this character is coming up with worthy content then who cares? The vast majority of blog posting is indirect (or direct) marketing. I don't think he's done anything wrong.
- valar_m 9y agoOP's submissions appear to comply with all of the site guidelines. What does it matter if they also happen to send traffic to his startup?
