Be honest. Have you read articles about the subject thoroughly?

Hey is implemented exactly like Netflix. This is exactly why it’s making such a ruckus. Because big streaming giants get Better treatment than the little guy trying to reinvent email.

Since we'll be both breaking the 'rules', first of all be very very honest, have you read the HN guidelines recently?

Unless they are 'reader' apps under guideline 3.1.3(a) [0]. Thus it isn't quite like as you said: 'Hey is implemented exactly like Netflix.' as Hey isn't a reader app, therefore they are not exactly under the same category of apps like Netflix. Nice try though, thanks for playing. I still look forward to the anti-trust battle.
