Thanks for the feedback. I don't think I extracted any value from a reader (besides 30 seconds). No signup required, no ability to buy anything, etc. However, to your point I originally sent this as a post to my small circle / newsletter. Perhaps I could/should have removed the ArtSpot link from the bottom for the HN share, however there is still value to the philosophy above the link. Thanks again for the criticism and support of the new project.

The clickbait comes from the fact that you submitted it as "I quit my YC alum job" when the actual article title is "I Quit My Job (Again)". The addition of the YC alum phrase is irrelevant and is pure clickbait toward the HN audience.

  But it's true...? I quit a job at a YC alum. The 'Again' is in reference to another post, "I Quit My Job" (ryanckulp.com/i-quit-my-job). That was a post-mortem I wrote after quitting a job at another company.

    Yes, but it's irrelevant. Hacker News policy is to not editorialize the title and submit the original title.
