There’s a visible increase in new accounts that are promoting clickbait titles and also using “Show HN” to promote products. Green accounts submitting projects with no explanation, with the domain name of the project having been registered prior to the HN submission. My best guess is that a foreign community wrote a guide on how to use HN for promotion, much like you would use Product Hunt or similar websites. I say foreign because I actually spent a few hours a couple of days ago looking into this. I spend a lot of time in /new and couldn’t help but notice this pattern. Many of the accounts doing this date back to a few years also, with blatant spam being their first submission for the last couple of years. It’s very obvious if you pay attention, but I am not sure it can be moderated outside of HN users themselves weeding it out.
