fast.ai is known for extensive marketing here on HN.

  Or maybe many here (such as me) have done and loved the fast.ai course

  Can you be specific? fast.ai has no revenue at all, no investment dollars at all, no marketing team, and no PR budget. It's entirely self-funded out of my pocket personally in order to help people. The courses are all free, there are no ads, and the software is all open source. Neither I nor anyone else at fast.ai has ever asked anyone to comment on an HN post, or to post anything to HN. edit: Just noticed last time fast.ai was mentioned on HN you that made a similar claim. @dang and I both responded to you then. So this is not just some misunderstanding, but repeated and intentional falsehoods. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18096807 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18096807

    They may just be genuinely unaware of how organically successful you guys are. But maybe I'm being overly charitable.
