> I'm disappointed a community like HN would be so happy to promote it
If you're not interested in a specific shared link, I'd recommend not commenting on it. If links like this became the norm, maybe, but it certainly isn't.
Was it a marketing stunt, yes. Is it also a fun one that I'd argue will benefit some people during a time of distress, also yes. I know if I were in Italy, I'd use it.
