Yo mods... can we stop the blog-spam?

  Recently I linked to a press release for a software acquisition, but mine was marked as a dupe, and the blog link promoted. I am not trying to get them sweet sweet up-votes. Just engage in my community.

    lol this place doesn't have real mods; only downvoting scripts against accepted narratives... somehow worse than reddit oddly enough because everything is concealed and limited

    Press releases are glorified advertisements. Please post something more substantive instead. Even release notes or change logs are better. An actual review like the really awesome in-depth Mac OS X reviews of yore would be even better.

      I'd much rather read a glorified advertisement than a news article regurgitating various portions of the glorified advertisement, interspersed with a bunch of filler, ads, and background information I already know.

  The thing is that the original announcement was submitted twice and wasn't upvoted much: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18315431 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18315431 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18311550 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18311550

  More interesting question: Why would bleepingcomputer.com be upvoted more than cloudblogs.microsoft.com? I have to say that the latter says to me: "Go to sleep," but the first says "Hey this is interesting". Plus, the article in the first has pictures. The headline is punchier too: * "Microsoft Sandboxes Windows Defender" (bleepingcomputer.com) * "Windows Defender Antivirus can now run in a sandbox" (cloudblogs.microsoft.com)
