Is there not a double standard going on here? Why is that an individual is almost banned for "spammy" behavior yet it seems that it is OK for a company to aggressively post to HN? I will give you an example - Cloudflare. Their CTO has posted to HN 7 times in the last two weeks. And his submissions are always promotional[1]. This individual posts something about Cloudflare every few days and sometimes even submits more than one Cloudflare post in a single day. This has been going on for years. As far as I can see Jeff Geerling isn't even selling anything. Are there different rules for companies vs individuals?
