Because it's such a maddeningly blatant shill post which, out of context, would be considered the worst type of spam: a single link to a "Find hidden hot cruise deals" site.

And in the context of the post it's not much better. You know where I like to work? From the deck of a cruise ship! No shit, I'd love to be on a cruise ship too.

"You know where I like to code? From the beaches of Aruba!" Followed up by a link to an Aruba travel deals site. No.

Extended rant: my frustration equally applies to Tynan's post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6697416 - nothing personal per se, save for the obviousness of the article I ham-handedly parodied above.

These class of ex post facto blog posts authored solely for self promotion seem like the bread and butter of HN. He build a website to sell cruise ship deals and now he _really_ wants everyone to know how great it is to [insert relevant occupation] from the deck of a cruise ship.

I really need to start thinking of HN as "Hustler News" instead of "Hacker News" I think it'd alleviate the cognitive dissonance I got going on.
