| > Saw this story yesterday on TinyIdea... Which, based on your submission history, is your site, which you have been self-promoting here for a couple weeks now. I don't know why this type of self-promotion bugs me so much. You do a show HN, it doesn't get traction, so you keep posting more and more stuff from your site. Then post a question, and drop the name in there, which reads to me as: "Maybe this will get me some traffic." All you need to do is put in a small disclaimer: "I saw on the site I run, TinyIdea...", and now it is honest disclosure, not guerilla marketing. Well, and be honest in general. You clearly have been running that site for almost a year according to your other posts and comments, and making somewhat of a living with it, again according to you: "Now pulling in around $1.4k consistently, which covers rent and groceries at least." I have a hard time balancing that info with the question and story from this post. OK, maybe that is exactly what bugs me about it - it feels like dishonest marketing. |
