- giraffe_lady 4y agoWas it ever not like this? We usually prefer the stealth marketing to be software products and startups but it's never been strictly that. I can't remember a time when HN was better (or worse!) than reddit on this front and I've been around both since they were young.

- Tao3300 4y ago> Please don't post comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit. It's a semi-noob illusion, as old as the hills.
