Comment on Ask HN: Why do small voting or ranking projects get flagged as spam so easily?parent

Comments

To be fair, lots of people don't like to comment on sites.

So imagine you read HN for a while, but never register a nym because you don't really like to do social media. Then, you are inspired to do a project and think the community would enjoy it, and get hit with hostility.

I suspect sometimes that's a trend that plays out, not saying it's the case in this particular instance.

I appreciate this perspective. I think that tension between sharing and promotion is real, especially for people who don’t post often.
