It's not newsworthy it's just the latest piece of random bla bla written for HN to advertise a startup completely unrelated to the subject matter.
AKA growth hacking.
- stephengillie 14y agoYea -- this is advertising for the 42floors brand. What they're saying doesn't have to have anything to do with their product or brand, merely seeing that they're saying stuff puts their brand back in front of our eyeballs.
- voidlogic 14y agoIt looks like people don't like this being pointed out. My comment went from +5 to -2...
- stephengillie 14y agoWere the downvotes for building a strawman argument and using it troll?
- voidlogic 14y agoSeeing as I never disagreed with anything the author said I'd be interested to know what the strawman argument in question here is. I did note that I think: 1. The post seemed like marketing/self promotion for his brand using a personal issue as cover and draw attention to his businesses blog. If this was a personal blog I would have no issue. 2. Many people who do not suffer from the disorder are going to use it as justification for their behaviour. I don't see how those concerns are trolling.
