Curious -- Are Apply HN threads only meant for existing HN users to comment/upvote? I'd be more interested in this if it were condoned and encouraged to have my startup's existing userbase upvote and post comments about why they love the product. My typical user is not a HN user. I know it can be done anyway, but if it's viewed as "gaming" the system I wouldn't want to do that.
- dang 10y agoYou definitely shouldn't do that. It's against the rules, and HN users sniff it out like truffle pigs.
- viviennelee 10y agoYea after reading some of the apply HN threads I realized it's really meant to gauge which startups existing HN users like, versus a general voting contest.
