This person posts an identical comment in every single Blender thread to promote his startup. Check their post history.

I am just wondering, is such a consistent plugging allowed on HN? To me it lowers the quality of the discussion and their posts are often voted to the top on all Blender related posts.

5 comments

Copy-pasting the identical comment certainly isn't, dang told me so when I was once re-using a comment I made earlier for another thread.

I think it's cool what doctoboggan has done with Blender, I feel it's okay to mention it in every Blender thread, but he should actually post a fresh comment.

And then it's up to us users if we feel it's become a bit stale. Downvoting exists.

They are posting where necessary, it allows them to build seo and overall works for them.

Smart play, as it feels organic until you pull back the veneer.

Thought I was having Deja Vu. Why is it always near the top too. It's always one of the first comments I read on a blender post.
I read it and wondered if "recently" really still included 2.8? That was quite a while ago now.
Thanks, I knew I've read this before...
