I don't get why there seems to be hostility towards Outpost. On both occasion (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7637010 and the current) the articles have been relevant to the YC community and to my knowledge hadn't been up voted by sock puppets that we created or operated. This article mentioned Outpost once and wasn't even centred around it. I could have replaced Outpost with any other company and it still would have same purpose.
Our hostility is to abuse and gaming of HN. If you aren't doing it, it must be someone else. In that case, their dedication to promoting your personal blog is remarkable.
They managed to find their way to both of your own (now deleted) submissions of this article from medium.com, and then helpfully re-submitted it from your personal domain and ring-voted it up. They don't seem interested in anything else, either. Quite the fans.
