In a refreshing move to combat spam while nurturing creativity, a popular tech platform has launched a new weekly thread titled ‘I made a useful thing.’
Historically, the platform has strictly filtered self-promotion to keep the feed high-quality, acknowledging that legitimate user-generated content often got caught in the crossfire. Instead of granting case-by-case exemptions, they have centralized these projects into a dedicated megathread.
This creates a sandbox for devs and creators to showcase their pet projects, tutorials, and videos without cluttering the main feed. It’s a win for discoverability, allowing the community to share work directly. However, the platform maintains a hard stance on commercialization; affiliate links and aggressive monetization grabs will still face the ban hammer. If you’ve got a cool script or side project, this is your new Friday slot.
