It's all over reddit to a tiresome degree, and increasing in Ask HNs as well, generally from new accounts (as of now, the OP account is green).
They all go like this:

"The gap seems real"
"The use case seems obvious"
"So my question to the community is:"

"Happy to" [market to you more] "if you're interested".

Who wrote the original structure? What is everyone using to generate this same form over and over?
(I could image it being one of those "$900 to learn this one cool trick" SEO influencers, maybe SaaS-ified into one of those custom GPTs? It is shockingly effective at driving engagement -- nerd sniping the genuinely helpful?)
Is there a way to filter these out?

True. Post quality has been inversely proportional to the share of $username =~ /^[A-Z][a-z]+[-_][A-Z][a-z]+[-_]?[0-9]+$/ and rank on /r/all...
