Yeah, ironically it was around September-ish when it felt like the front page kinda took a turn for the spammy.

I welcome people, especially beginners, posting small articles about what small wins they've accomplished or whatever.

What I am less appreciative of is the proliferation of posts that are trying to sell stuff (that aren't marked as sponsored or ads). Especially when they're top 10 lists of udemy referral links or whatever. Self promotion still makes me side eye them a bit, but as long as the article stands alone, it's fine. But if it's literally just a link to go to their site? That's over the line
