Ask HN: Why does HN over-advertise useless shit?

3•anslopic•47m ago
Claude, Kagi, Bluesky - it’s all trash.

And yet it’s all here on hacker news.

Why?

Why have the simonw guy? And pfraze? Every day?

Why waste another minute of our time with these ads?

Nobody will ever use that shit. Stop advertising it here every day.

It’s not good.

Claude is trash? My experience says otherwise.

simonw and pfraze seem more than legit. Neither of them seem to be advertising. If I posted something related to where I work does that make it advertising?

This seems like a problem you manufactured yourself based on your two day old account to stir up some drama. That is not how this community works.
