I see this all the time on HN. For anyone interested in the formula:
1. Have an app.
2. Get some Amazon referral links.
3. Have a blog with ads.
4. Author a controversial blog post and fill it with the above three items.
5. Submit to HN. Hope your post hits a chord on HN.
6. Follow up a week later with a meta blog post about your success.
7. Submit to HN. Hope your follow up hits a chord on HN.
8. Go back to #1.
