Non-hypothetical meta test case: I have a book under review at a publisher. When it comes out, I’d like to post some of it here for criticism. Hooray for free content or boo hiss for commercial posting? Because yes indeed I hope LW readers are inspired to buy my book after I give part of it to them for free.
What is the subject of the book? Is it to do with the art of human rationality?
We’re happy in general for commercial posting if relevant to rationality (CFAR, donation drives, job adverts) and unhappy with free content unconnected to rationality.
Aside from opinions on the particular case, I think this is an example of a question you could post on an Open Thread. If for some reason people start getting bitter over it, then I’d politely ask everyone to go to Reddit.
