Not sure if I agree with the second paragraph of this. But the original comment has a point.
CrunchBase and AngelList are meant to be directories of companies. While side projects often turn into companies, there is a difference at least initially. Uploading a weekend side project to these sites is creating noise rather than signal.
It's the job of CrunchBase and AngelList to separate the wheat from the chaff.
There's nothing wrong with hoping a side project becomes a bigger thing, and using available tools to try to make that a reality. Some side projects do go on to be very successful. Like AngelList.
