>I think it is really cute that she did this for her boyfriend. She didn't have to do this, but she either likes him so much, or likes the product so much, that she wanted to help him make it successful. I don't care how cute it is. If you want cuteness, go to /r/aww, not HN. I want meaningful, thought-provoking content. >I don't see how there is anything wrong with that, and if it is on the front page, then others must agree as well. Using your logic, we can conclude that there is nothing wrong with majority of content on Reddit. After all, people upvoted it, so there is nothing wrong with it! So far, the readers on HN have been more thoughtful, and I would hate for the quality of this website to go down. |

I do agree. I come to hacker news just for the reason you listed above;
"meaningful, thought-provoking content."
But HN is also a community. Every now and then for someone to share something like this, I think that's perfectly fine. I do agree if people do take advantage of this, it would significantly reduce the valuable content that I love about HN. We have to trust that his girlfriend really did post this, and didn't pull a fast one on us.
Everything in moderation.
