The downmodders are concerned because your post is an ad. Related to the thread? Yes.
But I see google ads all day that are related to content I'm looking at, and that doesn't necessarily mean I am happy about it.
Maybe a "Review my site" thread would be more appropriate.
- rglullis 16y agoI'm voting you up, though I'm not sure I agree with comparing an automated advertising system with a person that is just trying to engage in a conversation. Anyways, we've done the "review my site" quite a while ago (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1075533 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1075533), and got some useful feedback, though most of it was "color of the bike shed" discussion. I think that what the site needs the most now is breaking out of the chicken-and-egg problem. (Still amazed how people are voting it down like I'm a scammer. I'm putting everything for free, and this is not even a "startup", just a side-project. If people took a look at the site, it would be a win-win. By shutting me off, it's a lose-lose. Go figure.)
