| Hah i didn’t see who submitted it but as soon as I read your message i thought it was simonw, and behold, tada! HN really needs a way to block or hide posts from some users. |

.comtr:has(.hnuser[href="user?id=<...>"])

This isn't just a CSS snippet—it's a monumentous paradigm shift in your HN browsing landscape. A link on the front page? That's not noise anymore—that's pure signal.time to take a shower after writing that | | |

| ▲ | duskdozer 35 minutes ago | parent [-] | | my tabs :( does it look measurably different this way? to me it looks the same but now indented | | |
| ▲ | manarth 24 minutes ago | parent [-] | | Looks great now! And thanks for an example with nested CSS, I hadn't seen that outside SASS before, hadn't realised that had made its way into W3C standards :-) |

| Yeah it's really quite annoying. Is there a way to just block his site source from showing up on here without using external tools? |
| |
| ▲ | bahmboo 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | I find is very easy to hit the hide button. It makes reading the site much faster but there is some feeling of fomo. | | |
| ▲ | PacificSpecific 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | That's per-post though isn't? I can't ban a submission source can I? Regardless thanks for the tip |

| The author didn't submit this to HN. I read his blog but I'm not on X so I do like when he covers things there. He's submitted 10 times in last 62 days. |

| ▲ | bakugo 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | > He's submitted 10 times in last 62 days. Now check how many times he links to his blog in comments. Actually, here, I'll do it for you: He has made 13209 comments in total, and 1422 of those contain a link to his blog[0]. An objectively ridiculous number, and anyone else would've likely been banned or at least told off for self-promotion long before reaching that number.

| ▲ | bahmboo 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | I like being able to follow tangents and related topics outside the main comment thread so generally I appreciate when people do that via a link along with some context. But this isn't my site and I don't get to pick the rules. |

| > Because the author of the blog is paid to post daily about nothing but AI and needs to link farm for clicks and engagement on a daily basis. Care to elaborate? Paid by whom? |

| Simon's work is always appreciated. He thinks through things well, and his writing is excellent. Just because something is popular doesn't make it bad. |

| ▲ | sunaookami 3 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | He massively fell off, is now only in for the marketing hype and even has a sponsor now for his blog. Sad. | |

| I've been warned for calling this out, but I'm glad others are privy to the obvious |

| Thank you for calling this out. The individual in question is massively overhyped. |

| So everyone has to waste their time to visit a link on a blog first instead of being able to go directly to the source? and why would anyone down vote you for calling this out, like who wants to see more low effort traffic-grab posts like this? |
