Congratulations - that is great to hear.

Is the traffic mainly from google?

There isn't anything negative about doing it, just posting a list of stupid ideas peppered with satirised versions of common ideas.

If you accept that then you've missed the broader point. Not a single founder would want their idea to appear on next years board of stupid ideas to satirise.

My point isn't that stupid ideas don't exist, but that the great ones seem stupid. Dropbox was criticised on here; many thought AirBnb stupid.

How can 'Stupid Shit No One Needs' be classified as a social critique by any respectable semantician?

Is this not the gratuitous negativity that Hacker News seeks to avoid? Satire is not universally good. Many start-ups in their infancy could be classified using that list. Indeed many of those start-up's founders come here for resources or support.
