Self promotion within limits is fine for HN. See, for example, this valued contributor who posts links useful content they've created. Most of these appear to have been upvoted, not downvoted.

- aboutruby 8y agoThose are links to relevant blog posts, not to paid content/product. I highly suspect your account is a highjacked one (3 comments: 2 here, 1 4 years ago) made to defend the spammers.
- savingthrow 8y agoI used this account to see how accurate you are. Not very, as it turns out.
- minimaxir 8y agoRather in the context of the "link to a paid product" or a startup they own without disclosing it, as the OP was implying. I should have clarified. For comments linking to my own blog/projects, I very intentionally a) disclose I've written it and b) try to only post it when it's extremely relevant to the topic at hand.
- savingthrow 8y agoSure, but Parent poster is linking to accounts who are also making the same disclosure. "Here's this product I ahve". And while I didn't look through the entire posting history of the linked accounts, the mentions don't seem too frequent.
