- natrius 14y agoI've never understood why people care about this. Lots of people submit their own stuff. All I care about is the quality of the articles and discussion, which is orthogonal to the identity of the submitter.
- benologist 14y agoWhy would you not care if people are here to exploit you and the rest of this community? Almost nobody unaffiliated submits their crap in spite of a year+ of spamming with about 8 different accounts so obviously their work is not even very relevant. Systematic spam by these guys and a handful of other sites drowns out content real users find legitimately interesting.
