am I doing something wrong?

Whether or not what you are doing is wrong, the pattern of posts here on Hacker News does not conform to community guidelines.If this is the first mention, now you know.

what can I do to be heard?

Maybe start by listening. It is impossible to help other people with the problems that are important to them until you know what they believe their problems are.

For most people in the world, their important problems are not business problems. And often, just listening is helpful. Good luck.

How does listening help spread new ideas? Akio Morita used to say that you can't ask people what they don't know. I want to tell the world new things, how do I do that?
How does listening help spread new ideas?

Listening is at least half of communicating.

I want

Listening demands much more of you than that.

Akio Morita used to say

So you know how to listen.

and how do you tell the world about ideas? :)
Just like I am now.

By listening to someone else describe a problem that is important to them.

And then sharing my ideas which are relevant to the problem that they think is important.

Telling-the-world is talking-at people.

Anyway, you probably have more than one idea.

That is, you can only share ideas by replying to other people's posts, and if you write a post yourself, you don't listen and get banned. And then posts can only be with questions, did I hear you right?
Of course not.
