- gus_massa 10y agoI unkilled this. I don't see anything suspicious in you post ... You can contact the moderators at hn@ycombinator.com in case this is a false positive in one of the automatic filters. This kind of post are sometimes unnoticed.
- greenyoda 10y agoLooks like his first two posts (with [dead] tags only) were killed by the moderators. I'm guessing that it's because they look more like advertising a service rather than something that can be discussed on HN.
- gus_massa 10y agoYep, I agree. The post are too generic, something like submitting http://www.youtube.com http://www.youtube.com , but there are plenty of similar posts that are submitted and ignored. My recommendation to the OP is to write something interesting about the service. What is the technology stack? How are you hosting video without melting the server? How do you curate/find content? An interesting use case?
- w3clan 10y agoYep, got it. I will write a blog post and will share rather, than being too much generic.
- colshrapnel 10y agoThey don't host video nor curate anything. The technology stack is very simple: 1. Search up Internet for the existing tutorials. 2. Plagiarize the content. 3. When caught, rewrite several sentences to make it look slightly different and hard to google. 4. When asked to remove the plagiarized content, make an innocent look and say "It's not me, it's the author! I can't do anything." My tutorial has been plagiarized on this site, thus such a bitterness. But nevertheless it's a fact that all tutorials that published on the site at the moment are just compilations of plagiarized content. You can browse this site ( https://www.google.com/search?q=site:w3clan.com https://www.google.com/search?q=site:w3clan.com ), pick a random tutorial and google for a sentence taken from any chapter. And you will see the original source. The technology behind this site is mostly cheating.
- sbuttgereit 10y agoI took your Google challenge and found that you were largely correct (one or two searches out of ten or so missed). It makes one wonder about the self-esteem of people who only achieve a stolen recognition; a recognition that they know rightfully belongs to others. Sure, there might be some quick money involved, but even so these types knowing that the money they spend wasn't earned by their own actions would have to lower their visions of self-worth.
- dang 10y agoYou're not banned. Your post hit a spam filter. Sorry—those are more aggressive on new accounts. We'll mark your account legit so it won't happen again. You can repost your site, but you should put Show HN at the head of the title and add a first comment to the thread introducing yourself and explaining how you came to work on this. That way it will be clear that you're participating in the community and not just trying to promote something.
- w3clan 10y agoGreat! I will love to introduce the story behind starting this startup. My heartfelt Thanks
