I'm always wary of startup founders sharing startup launches to each other. Big red flag. Completely skews all advice/critique/reception.

Yep, I posted my website asking for critique, half the users were complaining about my 4s load time and didnt mention a thing about the information presented.

Thousands of people use my website a week, apparently they dont care about 4s load times.

My actual audience has bothered me to create more content more frequently.

Only on HN I heard that my products were ugly. None of thousands of users ever reported that.

Yep: I have a side project that I used stock bootstrap with. People on HN invariably complain about that. Actual users? Not one, ever.

Except when we're the target market.

I'm fine with others doing it so I can have a better picture of the competition in the personal finance sector that I'm developing an app for.
