They’ve been shilling their R•nder and P•rter services on every single thread about this Heroku incident, and it’s frankly a problem that HN moderators should address.
- ryanSrich 4y agoWhat should HN do? People are free to downvote it until it's dead. That seems a more democratic way to handle it.
- justjake 4y agoI'm such a HN normie does HN even have a downvote button? I can't find it
- justjake 4y agoIt's not just them sadly. I think the only one who I've seen who isn't guilty of this is Fly.io. They build cool shit, they blog about their cool shit, because it's cool shit.
- anurag 4y ago(Render founder) I haven't seen a single Render employee or investor post on HN about the Heroku incident; this comment is the first we've participated in any discussion on the topic. I'd love to see links if you can share.
- heartbreak 4y agoWell here is you (with your disclosure) participating in a discussion on the topic a few days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31053504 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31053504 You’re as capable as I am of searching HN for mentions of your service.
- mtlynch 4y agoHe's responding to someone who specifically mentioned their experience using Render. I don't consider that shilling. I personally like seeing that kind of direct engagement from founders on HN.
- heartbreak 4y agoYeah, that’s not shilling, but it is in direct opposition to what they stated in their comment here about not participating in any discussions about Heroku. I’m calling attention to my inability to trust this person and their company’s marketing tactics.
