It drives me crazy that "growth hackers" have become what they are now. My job could be pretty accurately described as growth hacking, but I'd never try Reddit/HN gaming as a growth strategy. To me, good growth hacks (the ones I would go after, at least) are similar to PayPal's method of letting you send people $10, provided they sign up for PayPal. Something that has the potential to grow virally, but also simply demonstrates why the product is useful to the people encountering it.
My current job doesn't have HN-style content. If it did, I'd just submit it once, and leave it alone.
