Yep, same has been happening here for years too.

Hi! As a developer at ACME inc (http://example.com/ACME http://example.com/ACME) I have been following the trend of self-promotion here too, while sitting at my utra-comfortable ACME Comfy(TM) chair, and I have noticed that some people, even the ones not using our ACME Inc. TNT-as-a-service(TM), have a tendency to self promote. I have written more about it on my block on our ACME site, http://example.com/ACME/blog http://example.com/ACME/blog.
- passwordoops 3y agoWould be interesting to see the rate of this self-promotion here. It's definitely not as present or in-your-face as other places, but it is noticeable
- gnicholas 3y agoI find that HNers are generally respectful about this. There are some outliers, but the posts they make tend to get downvoted and therefore rendered invisible. But there are probably at least as many instances where someone refers to their experience with a topic and pointedly leaves out the name of their company, and then other commenters ask for more details and the company name.
