How can you tell Microsoft Marketing engine is starting a campaign? Just look at HN and you see all sorts of Microsoft posts from thought leaders they pay and recruit. Examples: https://viu.ch/blog/2018/use-ai-to-keep-mice-out-of-the-house.html https://viu.ch/blog/2018/use-ai-to-keep-mice-out-of-the-hous... https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/microsoft-and-azul-systems-bring-free-java-lts-support-to-azure/ https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/microsoft-and-azul-sy... thankfully they don't pay their marketing teams enough to really care - all they want is to hit the metric checkbox since Microsofts fiscal first quarter is now. They start strong and blow it early so they can chill later. Nothing against them, just tired of seeing the same lame posts over and over by marketing teams. HN is not the place for it since the intention is to "pose" as original posts but its actually advertising. Since it is effectively advertising HN should be paid - No? I am interested to hear from the HN community - post author sorry I have no interest to hear from you since the typical response is some sort of claim/defense that its not advertising and something else etc.etc...
