replyNot the same at all. For that to happen you would have to explicitly visit their channel (forgive incorrect terminology, I don't use youtube). If someone kept posting on hackernews asking you to subscribe I hope you wouldn't appreciate it. swillison is spamming a communal public feed with self promotional comments about vibe coding, quite obviously because they, like the rest of us, are panicking about not having a career in a few years.

Dude it comes across, maybe only to me, as a bit shameless. Or maybe it's just that there are so many people lapping it up like you're doing a public service that I find tedious. I wish hackernews had a block feature but alas it doesn't. Maybe I'll vibecode a browser extension.
