> that will directly make my own, personal life worse.

Have you considered doing things that will make your life better? I use ReplyGuy to save myself like 30-60 hours monthly on each of my projects and it has made my life better.

At the expense of making everyone else's life slightly worse through bogus product recommendations and slowly degrading the quality of the medium you advertise in? Guys, have you considered taking from the commons? There's all free stuff there, it's benefited me personally.

Classic Reddit joke: “Did you know that the ducks at the park are free? You can just take them!”

I actually had to ask myself whether this was written by a real person or by a bot like ReplyGuy. I've never felt the need to ask that before. I hate this.

I thought I was so obviously over-the-top mimicking the bot from the subject link that it would be obvious satire (and thus point out how easily something could be done on HN)… But I’m not so sure…

I had to go back and undownvote your first comment. You got me, at least.

I caught the downvote bat for replying with one of the replies from the "People love our replies, really" section from the TFA verbatim :)

Heh, I was so paranoid about the bot thing that I didn't even consider it could have been sarcasm. I even checked your last couple posts on HN after reading your comment just to see if your account had a history and if it was all shilling for products.

I'm convinced you're a real person. Sorry for not catching on to the sarcasm.

You sound like a mechanic who dumps his used motor oil down a storm drain to avoid the expense of proper disposal. Yeah, it's good for you, but it pollutes the environment for everyone.

You are polluting the digital commons. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Thanks buddy i agree with every word you said and will check this link out as well, thanks again! /s
