I looked at OP's account. No comments at all, and every submission leads to his own website. Many of them marked as [dead]. I thought this was strictly against HN guidelines?
- gowld 3y ago"Guidelines" are never "strict." Guideline: "Please don't use HN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff part of the time, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity." OP has made 5 submissions in 7 months. All for blog posts tangential to their product, not even direct product offerings, not even directly pitching their product. (I read the posts and still don't know what they actually sell.) Nothingburger.
- freedomben 3y agoActually OP has made 12. Only 4 of them escaped death. This is clearly a case of using HN only for self-promotion. I wouldn't suggest we should stop them as it doesn't cross into abusive IMHO, but it does seem against the guidelines. It may not be reason to take action but doesn't seem like a nothingburger either.
- rpastuszak 3y agoProbably 80% of my submissions are “Show HN” links to my work. It’s me saying “hey look at this cool/silly thing I just made!”. I don’t necessarily ask for feedback when I do that, although I do appreciate it.
