Seriously ??????
Moreover, it's not just any business that can be promoted here as far as I can tell: it has to be "innovative" in some way... you can't just promote your dad's store here

I puked inside my mouth. From ending every tweet with an emoticon to telling people to use another description to not spam. Also telling people to get users to your platform by making a (unpaid) job posting on LinkedIn for Beta tester. Then the overly positive reactions.

If my account gets deleted for disuse, then they had to do it. If it stays active forever, because they never get around to it, then they have to host it. Either way, I get no benefit from that action that isn't benefited further from inaction.

Reading the replies that she gives to comments on her post make me just want to vomit. It is hard to believe that this is someone being genuine rather than satire. Her suggestion to make sure this 'tactic' is not spam, is to simply change the post title on a daily basis so that it might subvert spam detection. To comments that are disparaging her tactic and suggesting that one shouldn't spam HN, she just replies with thumbs up or the peace sign emoji. Absolutely incredible.
