More and more blog posts that make it to the HN front page are content marketing.

Nothing nefarious about it -- it's just a deliberate strategy on the part of companies like Retool or Supabase or Fly or whatever to market their services to this target market.

I have no idea how many actual sales conversations it leads to, but it sure is effective at convincing many HN readers that those are cool companies selling cool things...

In this case TFA was lame and a waste of time. Advertising by posting blogs on HN is fine, but the blogs had better be interesting.

You imagine communication exists to serve you. You are wrong.

You should spend time examining the author instead of just blinding vacuuming "content"
