Now that I've looked through your comment history, I see that you've been using HN for self-promotion, which is also against the guidelines.
If you have material consisting of novel research that the audience will find intellectually gratifying, you're welcome to share it as a standalone post.
It's not good community participation to hijack other people's launch posts with this kind of antagonistic commentary when you have a competing agenda.
Edit: removed initial mistaken accusation of failing to disclose competing product.
- faangguyindia 1mo agoDid you read the very first reply I posted? I clearly disclosed "we run public benefit app".
- tomhow 1mo agoOK, sorry for that; I've removed the accusation of failing to disclose your competing service. It's still not great community participation, piggy-backing onto someone else's launch thread with these kinds of comments, and repeatedly insisting that weight loss via diet and exercise is easy (people have been saying it for decades and it clearly isn't, otherwise there would be no demand for GLP-1 drugs). The case remains that your style of participation on HN is self-promotional. If you want to generate attention for your research and program/app, please earn the exposure by writing a deep-dive post that can engage the intellectual curiosity of the HN audience.
