This submission is _advertising_ a paid app to... skip ads.

Question for OP: how would you feel about a browser extension that automatically recognises submissions of this nature and hides them?

HN Rules: "Show HN is for something you've made that other people can play with. HN users can try it out, give you feedback, and ask questions in the thread."

I thought the whole purpose of Show HN is to show what you've created. Should there be restrictions on the types of things being created?

In your example, I think the browser extension would hide every submission on Show HN.
