Hi guys, I'm trying to understand the ratings system. I've got -4 points. Any feedback? Thanks!

I upvoted you. Although it was self promoting are we not seeing the forest for the trees? HN is run by a startup promoter and it all about startups and promoting startups and monitizing startups.

To me your idea is perfectly legit. Although I see dailybooth as another site that pollutes the internet with more "pay attention to me" content, I think a partnership with a site like your might be the only way to make money off this rubbish.

thanks Kevin. I was specifically answering the question about monetization... The ratings system on here is tough but I must say it's fun reading the stories and comments. You guys have a lot of interesting things to say.
People downvoted your post because it seemed like an ad.
Oops. OK thanks for the feedback! Didn't mean to come across like that...
