- kylehotchkiss 4y agoPosting an archive link isn’t something people would donate a coffee for, somebody else will drop in the article to post the archive.me link for the free karma ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- hn_archivebot 4y agothanks for the feedback :)
- dang 4y agoI'm sorry, because I realize this is well-intentioned, but we don't allow bots to post to HN so I have to ban this account. The reason we don't allow bots is that we're trying to optimize for curious conversation, and that requires human beings taking a personal interest in a topic and/or each other. As kylehotchkiss points out, individual HN users do frequently post links to archived versions of articles.
- hn_archivebot 4y agoSo I understand that you want to facilitate conversations, and Thats exactly what this is doing. By automating out an annoyance, and providing more access to everyone, it allows more people to read and participate in the discussion
- pvg 4y agoIt adds an automated annoyance to something that users already take care of whenever needed.
