Looking at the OP's history over about the past year and a half, 100% of the submissions have been to his own sites and 100% of his comments are on those threads or in one case linking to one of those sites. Your comment isn't the first one on these threads to point out the pattern, either, so it's very likely the mods have seen his pattern of using HN exclusively as a marketing channel and are okay with it.

Also seeing the title and the upvotes tells this is one of the topics that matters to the HN community, simply how to make money. Not saying it is bad, just an observation.

  I think it matters more to be independent. And getting people's attention without truckloads of money is hard nowadays

  I clicked because I've had ideas over the years (dating back to reading Joel On Software and about Micro ISV's) and the title of this post makes me wonder if my ideas are too big and that's a reason why they never got to implementation. The concept of a bunch of small/micro things that make hobby level money is interesting.

  Have you never written a HN upvote bot to push your submissions up? It's how it goes.
