Low effort spam is easier to deal with then "marketing", because marketing is about reputation and intent not content. If there is a thread on the HN front page for some Cisco zero day and the top comment is explaining the user's positive "personal experience" with Ubiquiti gear, is that marketing or just some network engineers sharing their genuine opinion on a tech forum? The content is the same but is received differently based on the user's reputation and their intent. HN, Reddit, Slashdot + many more try the score/points approach but it hasn't solved the problem.
