Ask HN: What's the Deal with Tailscale?

Hello HN! Could somebody explain to me why tailscale appears so frequently on the HN front page? I see posts from tailscale or about it every 2-3 days. I haven't observed such behaviour with anything else.

Even if these posts are 100% legal (ie there's no upvoting ring behind them) I still feel that the moderators should manually demote them from the front page because right now it feels like some form of cheap advertising trick.

Why not add a rule? Only one front page post about a product every month.

I'd really like to get some insights from the community and the moderation about that.

Thank you!
