That's a pretty strong term, especially on HN. I don't know tomasien personally, but I find no reason to jump to your conclusion based on his comment--I, for one, would be happy to see a promoted post from a band/cause I like/care about, and that sort of content doesn't usually last long enough to be noticed on a feed dominated by daily/hourly/faster social interactions.
- DanBC 14y agoFor email the definition is nice and easy - unsolicited bulk email is spam. But there are different expectations for social media, where you expect a bunch of fluff. The whole point is that you've signed up for unsolicited bulk nonsense. I'm not sure what the difference is between someone who just posts a bunch of "come see my band" posts, and someone who pays to promote a bunch of "come see my band" posts.
