| Damn, I didn't notice it at all, but now it's quite obvious, it feels like stuff like this is taking the enjoyment out of consuming anything. |

| ▲ | Imustaskforhelp 13 hours ago | parent [-] | | I did notice after seeing all the em-dashes. Shame because in a sense I could've agreed with them or atleast have a good discussion but if they didn't even take time to write their posts then oof If the purpose of this was to promote their academy or school or whatever, what was the point? Because at this point, they have lost all credibility and respect and HN isn't a gullible audience so I don't understand the point of why they did this | | |

Because at this point, they have lost all credibility and respect and HN isn't a gullible audience so I don't understand the point of why they did this It’s the top voted comment right now. Their comment history has similar comments with links to their products and content. I think they’re doing it because it was working for them. I bet they’re happy with the additional traffic they’re picking up for a minute or two of promoting an LLM and then appending a link at the end. |

| I thought this was a cheap shot, but then I checked the account’s comment history. Not all of the comments look like LLM output but a lot of the comments from this account are definitely in LLM style. It even has an em dash. With the plug attached at the end I think this is their advertising strategy: Plug into outrage threads with LLM generated content and then guide people toward their program after the hook. |
