1) It looks more like a discovery.
2) It doesn't look like a self promotion.
3) The point of the article is at the beginning. I.e. a certain percentage don't read past "Show HN".
Again, just theories. No idea if this is really the case. But I don't remember many (maybe any) of the other 2048 clones making it to the first page being "Show HN" submissions.
