#7Yes. The poster is only posting links to their blog. That blog contains a bunch of ads. The content is only mildly interesting for HN. A single post would have been fine. Two posts a day shows -and no other comments- show the author is not interested in discussion at HN, and is just driving traffic, possibly to get ad views.
There are many articles on [new] and it's a shame that interesting articles get drowned out by this kind of low quality stuff.
