FWIW, the best way to get your website on Hacker News is to write a content-marketing blog post about someone else's work.

Don't get me wrong. This post is an interesting read. But the company publishing it appears to have nothing to do with the exploit or the people who discovered or patched it.

I tip my hat at their successfully marketing :)

No. A newspaper is in the business of selling you content (or advertising alongside content)

grith.ai appears to be in the business of guiding you click a "request early access" button so they can eventually sell you software (or so they can pitch seed investors on the length of their list of prospects)

Again, I'm not criticizing. Just pointing out a pattern that's becoming pretty common on HN, especially for stories about vulnerabilities written up by companies selling cybersecurity solutions or services.
