Around the same time you posted this comment, I just edited my post to clarify that we were already planning on removing many of the annoying emails, including the "Your website misses you" and the "It’s been 8 days, 2 hours, 30 minutes and 6 seconds…" emails, among others. I also just edited "we were emailing a bit too often" because it was more than a bit, it was straight up too often. If there's something I'm still not seeing, I'd love to hear your feedback.

Looks like we overlapped a bit there. My point was that at the time I posted, numerous comments in this HN discussion essentially said "You're being spammy and abusing the trust of users", and to me, your comment read as "No problem, we're fine-tuning the ways we spam people so now we're only going to indulge in 75% as much unwanted harassment while abusing the trust of this particular group of users, and that makes it all OK". To be fair, maybe I just saw your post at an unfortunate mid-edit stage, or maybe I'm just in an unusually bad mood for some reason and I loathe spammers. But honestly, at the time it read like one of those non-apology apologies that is only ever given by shady organisations you want nothing to do with. :-(
