I have been a user for years now, mostly just skimming through when I get the time. It's been extremely positive whenever I became engaged. I don't knock peoples attempts to money grab. You have to eat and there's money here. However, it makes me cringe nonetheless. What I'd really like to see more of (and maybe it's here and I miss it) is when people do share their startup or something, give the nitty gritty and try in all ways possible to make it beneficial to this community, through learning, some sort of engagement or pure giving stuff away. Give a little and HN will always deliver.
