Sorry for the delay, but I only saw this now.

The way you promote your product on HN is so aggressive as to amount to spamming, and you've been doing it for years: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

Nearly every comment you post has some cunning (or not so cunning) promotional reference baked into it. Examples are legion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22252497. Your rare comments that don't include something like this are so boilerplate as to come across as shameless padding.

I asked you to stop this 2 years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17000657. You've kept doing it.

Given that we've banned countless other users for lesser abuses, and given the regularity with which this pattern devolves into user complaints and off-topic flamewars like the current thread and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22499177, I think it's time to bite the bullet and ban your account. I don't really want to—which is no doubt why it's taken so long—but you're clearly not using this site in good faith, and enough is enough.
