I haven't paid attention to it, but probably the people who mention "my side projects" aren't regulars, and it's probably a Baader-Meinhof thing for you.
If you want to be methodical (or me, since I'm just guessing with no data), you could go through the top 10k commenters here: https://whaly.io/posts/top-10k-commenters-of-hacker-news-in-2021 https://whaly.io/posts/top-10k-commenters-of-hacker-news-in-... (it was mentioned on HN a few days ago) and see if they wrote "my side project" or something along those lines...
- going_ham 5y agoI notice these kinds on comment whenever some people share something with "Shown HN: I made this and it makes revenue" kind of posts. There will be few people there, sharing their experience. That is where the bias started from and I got more curious about it whether it is actually true or not!
