It's impossible to know the intentions behind every single post, but together they're a trend and they do tell a story. What is unclear to me is why would anyone post their Show HN in that gray, de-emphasized text field where URLs are not even converted into links? Visitors have to actually copy and paste the URLs into their address bar. That makes absolutely no sense unless there is another advantage to be gained from submitting text posts (instead of URL posts).
