Why are the top comments companies promoting their solution? Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s find to do so I just don’t expect them at the top.

- xeromal 5y agoI don't see any top 1st level comments promoting anything. The only promotions I see are comments to the top comments which is hard to avoid!
- MattGaiser 5y agoDemand for a solution is probably quite high.
- smoldesu 5y agoThis has been increasingly prevalent on HN, and I'd (eventually) like to see something done about it. Sure, Hacker News is a project incubator at heart, so it will naturally have a higher ratio of CEOs:normal_users. That doesn't excuse how obnoxious it is seeing someone plug their SAAS-of-the-day on seemingly innocuous information (like how Fig hitched a ride on a Brew PSA). It's frustrating me to the point where I might just leave this site. I'm sick and tired of this new-wave guerilla marketing.
