> I'm not sure at which point you earn a shadowban for self-promotion, but I have to wonder if it's worth the risk.

is simply submitting your own company blogposts a basis for shadowbanning?

i understand if the titles are overly promotional but i dont think submitting your own content is - if it is of interest to the community

The guidelines [1] state:

>Please submit the original source. If a post reports on something found on another site, submit the latter.

>Please don't use HN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff part of the time, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity.

>Don't solicit upvotes, comments, or submissions. Users should vote and comment when they run across something they personally find interesting—not for promotion.

(They solicit upvotes in their slack/twitter/etc)
