Between the HN attitude shift and this article being flagged (maybe if I linked to a medium article it would be fine. /s) maybe this community isn’t for me anymore.
You didn't post about the cool sites you built. You didn't show off your code. You didn't add value.
You posted bragging about "Hey, what if I 'collect' more domains? How much money would that be worth?"
You're not displaying something that most would consider "hacking".
