In my experience, this is quite accurate: regardless of what site, HN, reddit, digg, etc., there's a tipping point where it becomes "Show HN: I did something cool" transitioning into "this is a spammer, get out"-type of innate reaction.
Another thing is the constant playing off of how something is special purely because of age; this has been done over and over on HN, and as a lurker I've seen tons of "im 12 and i made a css framework|cool library|js framework" type of stuff, and it really isn't helpful or useful for me to know or care about this.
- schruteroots 6y agoI agree to what you're saying to some extent on what you're saying but the part about me mentioning my age, I'm doing it purely because I've got college applications as well and it wouldn't hurt to get some good coverage and have it in my application as well.
- ev1 6y agoSo does everyone else - the way you word things, it reads like you feel like you're entitled to "press coverage" or "userbase" and just expecting it to exist or something you're supposed to get. Arguably it's even worse that you're making multiple HN accounts for spamming it.
