You can't vote on it, you can't comment, and the title fits the pattern I mentioned earlier - it's absurd to describe this as "nearly identical" to the normal submission. Having occasional, untargetted, marked, on topic advertising on a free site is about as far from "dark pattern" as it is possible to be.
