We put it in the second-chance pool (https://news.ycombinator.com/pool, explained at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308), so it got a random placement on the lower part of HN's front page. Perhaps we shouldn't have?

The upvotes after that are all organic though.

Personally I think it's great for two reasons, the tech is actually cool and, it's an example of "weird instagram spam" that actually isn't. Thanks for giving it a second chance!

Probably giving it the benefit of the doubt, as we're supposed to do on HN. If you watch the whole thing and get past the typical instagram spam synth voice and general weirdness, the tech actually seems pretty cool... Personally, I can't think of a better solution to the problems they're proposing to solve.

Watched it without sound.. seems that removes a lot of this negative impression which I did not have at all.
