"Get featured for $99", "Add entry for $20". Doesn't sound very independent, but rather one big ad.

From a self-promotion-only account no less, breaking HN's rule on self promotion. Also others have pointed out that some of the listings are bullshit, but why let that get in the way of collecting the fee. What a grifter.

If not mistaken, the person behind the post, is a former colleague of mine. He might not have been aware of this.

The post is now flagged.

Note: In this case, the label "Show HN:" might also not have been OK.
