I'm a huge opponent of this form of advertising being pushed down our throats. Here's some reasons why blogging for HN like this is bad:
- Your brand and your blog are not representing your company, the traffic literally doesn't know or care what you do they're just there for the HN porn.
- If you do a venn diagram of HN users and people who need pretty much anything there is going to be a tiny, tiny overlap that shouldn't be confused for your market unless you've failed at all other lead generation and customer acquisition channels.
- HN is for discussing interesting things, there's nothing interesting about being the victim of yours and others on-going attempts to capture a market in the least efficient way you can imagine.
