The point of the post is the sales pitch.
- _Microft 7y agoAnd the submitter is the CEO as it seems. "user: gafferongames created: November 26, 2014 karma: 173 about: Founder and CEO, Network Next."
- tempguy9999 7y agoIs this within HN rules to post sales pitches, esp. by HN members, at least without being very clear about it?
- close04 7y agoI think this is exactly what HN is for. You're free to promote your project. It's just a shame that this project, while a technical achievement, puts them solidly on moral low ground.
- hombre_fatal 7y agoSurely this is preferable to the trivial circumvention of your proposal where you just ask a friend to post something for you. A trick that basically silences all Redditors that would otherwise complain about “ads”. I’d rather people just post their own stuff and we judge the content on its own basis.
- techlaw 7y agoIt is preferable to the extent that the poster is transparent about their intentions. The user name posting this could be 'NetworkNext' or a brief disclosure could be in the original post -- either of these would provide some transparency. With transparency there would be fewer clicks on the link but greater trust in the content.
- tempguy9999 7y agoExactly this. I'm fine with people posting their own stuff but I want to know.
