Item — HN Reader

it's related to discussion for people who prefer normal star ratings instead of retarded thumbs up, so not sure what's your problem, also not sure what's your definition of shill, but I doubt it's someone who doesn't even bother to provide link for his potential victims and who is just regular user of some website where he was forced to move from IMDb

not sure where you got some fake outrage from my post, when some thief is stealing 14 years worth of my content from IMDb

judging by your language you are most likely shill from some competitors failed forums which are already forgotten as IMDb alternatives

everyone feel free to go through my history to see if I am some account made to spam with TMDb as this expert imply

Please keep this sort of tit-for-tat off HN.

I don't think you're a spammer and it's ok to occasionally promote your own stuff on HN in relevant contexts, but if you do it too much then other readers here will start to strenuously object.

except it's not even my stuff, I am just annoyed IMDb user who moved to TMDb and just wanna let know other people about alternative so we can all continue discussing movies, after all it's in my best interest to attract as many users as possible so I can have more people to discuss with even when I have zero monetary benefit from it and I am in no way affiliated with TMDb other than any other user, heck I don't even help editing movies there, no Mod, nothing...

That's totally fine! But if users have noticed it enough to get annoyed it might mean you were mentioning it excessively. In that case the solution is simply to do so a bit less, and make sure the context is a good and relevant one when you do.
