Dude, I'm sorry to offend you. And sharp of you to notice. I failed to get substantive engagement the first two times (1 point and 4 points) so I tried again. This time I got some engagement.
Re. the title, I started with a boring conservative title and got precisely zero engagement, so I changed the title to be a bit more clickbaitish. Just like most of the other titles in New. Did I do wrong?
As I said, this is my first serious attempt at social media engagement and I'm just learning how it works.
Your response sounds like AI, but I'm going to read it in good faith. The distasteful thing is using a community instead of being part of it.
And hey, I know everyone's doing it, but it's still annoying.
On HN specifically, you're supposed to avoid clickbait, avoid excessive reposts, and avoid using the site only for self-promotion[0]. This helps to create a community that promotes curiosity, instead of chasing growth hacks and engagement like many other social media platforms.
