Interesting that pretty much all submissions on the first page of results from this domain is both by the same user and broadly seems to be about the same overarching theme of procrastination.
Is OP the author of the site?
(OP also posts links to other sites, so not saying OP is doing anything wrong though.)

I don't want to participate in a witch hunt here, but HN needs to stay vigilant against spam and self-promotion that exceeds the reasonable intersection with honestly showing personal projects.
Discussions including "human interest" topics like this one are often of exceptional quality here. It would be bad to lose that.
So I think it is fair to dicuss this openly. Sorry if I am being coming across as rude towards a one man enterprise or something, but self-promotion on HN should follow strict rules and if this is indeed promotion, it is breaking the rules.
> Please don't use HN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff part of the time, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity.
Stop harassing people!
So maybe I should have worded my comment differently, or not comment at all.
The reason for my comment and that I even deep linked another thread was simple, I strongly felt that this exceeds a normal amount of promotional content, especially when it comes to self-help themes.
My sincerest apologies if this came across as me unaskedly playing the moderator, or if my brief look at the previous threads appears like I was stalking OPs comment history.
I can say personally (while I don't post on HN), when I share content in a community, it's things I find interesting, which often I see from the projects/blogs I subscribe to/follow.
So odds are OP is just someone with ADHD who finds this content useful to themself and people like them so they share new content from the site when they see it.
Just had a bad gut feeling with this particular post and content and wanted to comment on it (plus context).
Your explanation is nicer and I'll assume I was wrong here for it's better to assume good intentions.
I would do so in the past too.
What rules are you referring to? This is what the HN guidelines say:
"Please don't use HN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff part of the time, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity."

Doesn't seem very strict to me.
