  Easily 50% of the articles on HN are advertisements. If you remove news articles and personal blogs that jumps to about 98%.

    We like to create content about alternative solutions and then plug our e-commerce SaaS. This is referred to as content marketing. As for the blogs and news articles you speak of, these platforms profit from subscriptions and ads. We profit from SaaS subscriptions. Everyone is advertising something. And that's okay. I hope you found this article useful.

      Absolutely, I have no problem with content marketing and while I'm not your customer or in the market for your solutions, I did think it was an interesting article. I was just responding to the criticism(?) that this was "just" an advertisement.
