YC posting of own blog posts OK?
Is posting links to one's own blog posts on YC considered OK or frowned upon? It looks like it is OK but I'm new here so wanted to get feedback on the issue.
- brk 17y agoIt's considered OK if the blog posts are relevant. Submitting only your own material to HN and/or submitting every single blog post tends to make you look a tad bit lame, so I would recommend that submit a good mixture of submissions. There are a couple of posters here (and I won't name them) that ONLY seem to submit links to their own site. I have personally developed an ignore filter for those people, meaning that any time I see their name attached to something I just devalue and ignore it.
- IncidentalEcon 17y ago@brk - That makes sense. It's what I would have done anyway.
