Can we add an "AD" tag in HN?
Don't get me wrong but this really does not explain the full story and the post ends with basically: "If you really want to know pay for it".
I don't have anything about paying for this information but at least say it is an AD for your agency.
- Leimi 3y agoKinda harsh to see it that way. You could remove the last four 4 sentences of the post and don't see it as an ad at all. The post does actually explain the most important part and the guy just tells us we can hire him if we need help.
- thih9 3y agoWhat information exactly are you missing? The post lists why developers do it, why it’s bad, and what you can do instead - as promised. I don't think we should have an "ad" tag. Most "show hn" posts are basically ads for new products, and still very useful and very welcome. If you think a submission is inappropriate or dishonest, you can flag it and write your reasons in comments.
