I wrote about a lot of developer facing features and linked to source materials to help folks get more information that are not blogspam at all. I appreciate your feedback on my work though, really; you're such a nice guy.
I think the parent is referring to the fact that some browsers warn about your blog including unsafe scripts (try to load your link in Chrome or Firefox for e.g.). While this is concerning, I wouldn't go as far as qualifying the article as blogspam though.
Fwiw the mixed content warning is from VideoPress, which is also used in the WordPress.org announcement and also throws the same error. That said, I reported it to the right people and it's likely getting fixed across the board. So while I highly doubt that's what the commenter was referring to, your followup made the web just a bit better, so thanks!
When I looked through the article, at first I saw nothing that was not covered in the official announcement.
But no, I didn't scroll far enough, there is indeed content there worth linking to. Therefore no, I was wrong, this is not blogspam, it just really looked like it.
Your snark and the downvote brigade are not appreciated.
I have to say that the parent here is entitled to their view; I don't necessarily agree but I think a comment saying why you disagree (which some people and the article author have done) is better than down voting.
He adds in a link and some value even if you feel the sentament is negative...
Here's the official announcement: https://wordpress.org/news/2015/08/billie/
