Some of us folks here did startups before there was Reddit (or HN). Launching for free wasn't a thing. So things turn around.

True. But your competition was in the same boat with you, and now they can downvote your posts into oblivion.

tbh, its worse than that. This one time, I used to post to reddit, without adding a link, and some guy from competition used to reply to comments of people who used to ask for the tool name and link. haha basically i sow the crop and he reaped it.
