The most recent 60 (!) comments plus every submission of the last 6 months were all about the same thing. That's extreme. The posts didn't all mention that specific project, but there was only one topic and they were extremely repetitive. This is not a close call.
I made it all the way back to https://news.ycombinator.com/posts?id=atomic128&next=4628060... (6 months ago) before seeing posts about anything else, only to find that there was a different agenda before that. Not cool.
Edit: and before all that, there was this: https://news.ycombinator.com/posts?id=atomic128&next=4164795.... This is obviously not using HN as intended.
Exceptions?
<https://news.ycombinator.com/launches>), self-serving and contrary to the "we moderate YC stories less" guideline.
(Yes, I'm aware "less" isn't "none", and this is an account/user rather than story, I hope my point stands and is clear.)
The Yann LeCun posts you link are ... a bit OTT. That's also a couple of years ago.
I've said my bit. I'm hoping you and atomic128 can come to an understanding in email.
