Comment on Storify End-of-Life

Comments

Storify was a good product, used it in the early days. Shame to see it going down.

Distilpost, my own startup is a more than adequate alternative. It is all machine curated at the moment and super accurate. Beats twitter moments easily. https://distilpost.com/

I think you could have been a bit more tactful there.

Pardon me if i am unfamiliar with the ways of the community but the down votes are simply far removed from what i expected as i only sougth to offer those deeply affected a possible alternative and something to cheer for.

Your comment is pretty unashamedly self-serving and not entirely on topic. Storify was curated, yours intentionally doesn't overlap on the heart of this product.

I don't think there's anything wrong with unashamedly self-serving. All plugs by developers are self-serving, and trying to enforce the veneer of modesty will just cause people to be more subtle and tricky. Better to allow so long as the interest is disclosed (which he did).

So really, the only possible reason to down vote is being off topic (which could definitely apply to this case).
