Omniref also spammed me via either npm or github, telling me my project was on their site and that I should "claim" ownership for the documentation for it. Omniref is also a YC startup.
I found it pretty annoying because they're essentially telling me to claim 'ownership' of it and splintering where people should be getting help from. At least my library isn't that popular anyways otherwise I'd be much more angry (and more annoyed)
So I guess essentially YC is advising their companies to start spamming developers?
- michaelmior 12y agoI got an email too, except in my case the email was referencing a fairly popular project that I don't know how I am connected to.
- haakon 12y agoSounds like "growth hacking" to me. Basically a fancy word for "spam from a startup".
