Somebody should make a script that takes some info about your product and auto submits them to each one of these.

- trungdq88 7y agoPlease don't. That's spamming.
- alex-wallish 7y agoIsn’t the goal of lists like these to make it so you can easily submit to all or a subset of them when you launch a product? Automating that process to save time does not make it spamming.
- detaro 7y agoAutomating it basically ensures that you don't adjust your submission for tha audience or consider if it is appropriate for the site. That makes it spamming. You can be working manually and spamming too, but automation "helps".
- alex-wallish 7y agoThat’s not true. You could require a list of say 50 parameters, and then it determines what needs to be sent to each site and in which format, adjusting for each site.
- detaro 7y agoTechnically true, but that's not what "take some info about your product and auto submits them to each one" tends to mean.
- kresten 7y agoNo it’s not.
- EGreg 7y agoYes. Yes it is. . . . (Or maybe it’s not. Or something in between.) . . . . . Ok wait... isn’t Indeed for jobs and MLS for real estate and other aggregators “spamming” also? . . . Ideally there would just be metadata about a project and one button you press to deploy and each side would be responsible for curating what they listen to.
- kresten 7y agoThese sites specifically solicit such submissions, correct? https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/spam https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/spam Spam is unsolicited. automation !== spam
- Tade0 7y agoDue to this I was almost sure that that list would have one item and be a rude remark about places to post about your startup/launch.
