Is there no relevancy and value in what I'm sharing? Obviously, people are enjoying the content, otherwise they wouldn't have ranked as high. I don't have a circle-jerk network of upvotes. It's all organic interest based on a submitted link.

Ignoring how trollish your comment came across, you are correct. I need to bring more value to HN beyond posting stories that appear on my site. I will improve on that.

To define it as spamming is unfair. I've only shared pieces that I believed would bring value to the community. To call it marketing is fair and something I need to be aware of.

Wait... it's not? I thought that's all anyone did here.
