I do truely love how you guys even went so far to hide and lock the post from Reddit.

This person is not the only one to experiencing this bug. As this thread has pointed out.

I wish more people realized that virtually any subreddit for a company or product is run by the company - either directly or via a firm that specializes in 'sentiment analysis and management' or whatever the marketdroids call it these days. Even if they don't remove posts via moderation, they'll just hammer it with downvotes from sockpuppet accounts.

HN goes a step further. It has a function that allows moderators to kill or boost a post by subtracting or adding a large amount to the post's score. HN is primarily a place for Y Combinator to hype their latest venture, and a "safe" place for other startups and tech companies.

Yes and it irritates the hell out of me. Cursor support is garbage, but issues with billing and other things are so much worse.

The team I work with it took nearly 3 months to get basic questions answered correctly when it came to a sales contract. They never gave our Sec team acceptable answers around privacy and security.

I've always wondered how Reddit can make money from these companies. I agree they are literally everywhere, even in non-company specific but generic subreddits where if it's big enough you might have multiple shadow marketing firms competing to push their products (e.g. AI, movies, food, porn etc).

Reddit is free to play for marketing firms. Perhaps they could add extra statistics, analytics, promotions for these commercial users.

I dunno, that seems pretty reasonable to me simply for stopping the spread of misinformation. The main story will absolutely get written up by some smaller news sources, but is it really a benefit for someone facing a similar issue in the future to find an outdated and probably confusing Reddit post about it?

Agreed, this is what's infuriating: insistence on control.

They will utterly fail to build for a community of users if they don't have anyone on-hand who can tell them what a terrible idea that was

To the cofounder: hire someone (ideally with some thoughtful reluctance around AI, who understands what's potentially lost in using it) who will tell you your ideas around this are terrible. Hire this person before you fuck up your position in benevolent leadership of this new field
