Forgive me for being 'that guy', but seriously, what in the world does this have to do with Hacker News?
That this article is on the front page makes me seriously worry that the system has been gamed. That people are commenting on it like this is par for the course makes me worry, period.
Am I missing something?
- Geekette 15y agoI don't think that the relevant implications have to be spelt out: The wrong PR shilling your company could earn you undeserved negativity. I.e. What if the pitch sent in this case was on your startup? As a result, your company gets dragged in, people (some of whom have never heard of you, could be potential clients, etc) develop negative associations with your brand. All because you had the misfortune to hire a PR firm with what you thought were skilled professionals.
