Machine generated postings are not permitted on HN and posting submission summaries are also discouraged by the HN moderators.
Your bot postings (the account description outright says that it is a bot) will only decrease the reputation of your business among HN users.

I read that. I'm a real human behind the bot using a chrome extension I built to help market what I'm building.
I thought that instead of someone just seeing the video title and choosing to watch it, I'd add value by saving hackers time by quickly helping them understand what the video is about.
What are your thoughts on this and what alternative ways would I market my business among HN users?

Please review the guidelines and FAQ linked at the bottom of the page. If you have any questions, the HN moderators can be contacted using the information on the contact page.
If you prefer a shorter answer: None. HN's userbase is famously hostile to marketing submissions or postings. A large number of them deal with spam and abuse as part of their jobs so it's hardly surprising. There is also considerable irritation by many users directed towards LLM products currently, also because of rampant abuse.
