We actually spent the entire day at the Giants game today. ¯\(ツ)/¯

There's no incentive for high ranking HN posts, or any HN posts, actually. If there were, you wouldn't see others continually submit our news here before we do. This was a nice and unprompted post for everyone in GCP to read, as well.

(Disclosure: I work on GCP as a product marketer.)

Hey I was at the giants game today with my company as well! ¯\(ツ)/¯

</noise>

I’m now realizing this might have come off as sarcasm. It wasn’t! I was buzzed from the game when I wrote this lol!

since you are disclosing your affiliation: do GCP actually have any account managers or similar business devs in EMEA?

A GCP product marketer responding to negative commentary on HN within ~20 minutes of it being posted strikes me as automated.

EDIT: It is a double standard though, HN readers want access and responses from people on the GCP team but at the same time tinfoil hat subliminal marketing etc.

Nonsense, there are many Googlers on HN and all it would take is a colleague poking another with a relevant thread.

I would be reading this every 10 minutes for new comments if it was my product up for discussion.

Ten minutes even seems like a lot. If I saw my website on HN, I'd have alerts set up for new comments.
