yep, sad true, HN comments and posts being parsed and converted into an outreach email every second, probably a dozen of them went out while I was writing this

the same happens with "Show HN" tag, now if I want to show something with it I usually get ~0 comments and ~5 upvotes (which is fine when the thing I share is not interesting for people) and 15 outreach emails which starts with "congrats on your HN launch of xxx!" :// well at least bots enjoying my posts

I agree that it's nothing to do with HN, it applies to every platform these days and we need to adapt somehow
