This is very unrelated but I worry about posts like these.
HN is a great place to get genuine thoughtful discussions compared to a big portion of the rest of the internet. Reddit used to be the place for finding genuine experiences for products with subreddits like buyitforlife (or more specific) but now these and other subreddits are filled with bots and marketeers promoting what they sell and hammering their competition in the same thread.
Some bots are already here but I fear when the marketeers come.
If you spot one flag it and mail hn@ycombinator.com , Dan & Tom usually act pretty quickly on confirmed shills. But don't comment in the threads to accuse someone of being a shill, that's explicitly against the guidelines, and that's because it isn't rare for people to simply get it wrong, besides it would pollute the threads.
