Ask HN: When is OK to Post Links?
4 コメント
So I'm wondering, why is it OK to post `archive.is` links,
but not `playtext.app` links, since they both provide similar value?

It's common to encounter sites like as `archive.ph`, `archive.org` high up in the comments. These links are particularly useful when articles are behind a paywall (eg. NYT articles).
Based on that, I started posting links to those articles linking up to the content.
Even though that's indirectly promoting my product, I believe it provides real value to the HN community since it not only serves the content but also helps people listen to it.
However, this has been flagged as spammy behavior.

I would love to know what you think!
