No one said HN is exempt from this, actually it happens all the time.

However HN is tiny compared to reddit it doesnt fracture itself into small subreddits. Things are much more managable this way. When shill content does pop up it's pretty obvious and it's usually called out.

It seems likely that only the poorly-written shill content gets called out.
