Ask HN: How do you like to be marketed to?

2 points by inferense 3y ago ↗ HN

what kind of marketing do you like to see? What makes you try out a new devtool when you see one? Where do you usually come across trying out new tools?

I'm founder of https://acreom.com and I would like to improve the way we market to developers.

I don't.

I don't want to be marketed to, what I want is other developers to recommend a product to me.

I don't want to be marketed to. I want an open society built on open technology that I can use for free and modify without asking anyone else's permission.

I would rather go without something than to pay for it and give up my freedom. For example, I choose to live without a car or even a driver's license.

I am not a resource for you to exploit.
