Ask HN: Recent uptick in spam and advertizing on HN?
4 by mdwalters | 6 comments on Hacker News.
I've been seeing alot more spam, self-promotion, and advertisements (notoriously about recovering lost crypto, hacking, etc.) on HN recently. There was one story I saw about looking for wedding dresses, and the OP of that story made a thread advertizing (and self-promoting?) a store for wedding dresses. I've looked into a profile of a spammer I see frequently, and they made some good submissions/comments, mostly obscurred by the spam they made. Anyone else noticing this?
