问HN:Techmeme是否在为提升某些文章而获得报酬?

我注意到,Techmeme目前正在将某个家伙的播客推到他们网站的最顶部,作为头条新闻。我还发现,过去六个月里,整个网站变得非常明显地偏向于支持人工智能,常常使用我截图中的相同思路,将支持人工智能的内容提升到头条位置,或者至少是“折叠上方”的位置。 他们是否以某种方式收取回扣?我看不出一个随机的播客为什么会得到这样的头条待遇,除非他们收了钱或者有什么回扣来推广它。即便如此,这些内容也没有标注为推广内容。整个事情让我觉得很可疑。

I&#x27;ve also noticed the website overall becoming very deafeningly pro-AI in the past six months, often using the same idea in my screenshot to boost pro-AI content to the same headline spot or &quot;above the fold&quot; at the very least.<p>Are they taking kickbacks somehow? I don&#x27;t see how a random podcast deserves headline treatment like this unless they got paid or some kind of kickback to promote it. And even then, it&#x27;s not labeled as promoted content. The whole thing smells fishy to me.
