They built a new thing and shared it. Hn is news for “hackers”, and sharing early products like this is one of the intended use cases. Sure it lacks polish, but flagging seems extreme

I mean, drumming up a chrome extension on HN to get a userbase, then abusing it or selling it off to be abused shouldn't be the sort of entrepreneurial/hacking mindset HN appreciates.
