I gave up trying to land the front page on HN. It just doesn't have the same quality of traffic or discussions from 5~6 years ago when HN was at it's peak.

What's more there are a lot of false positives in the comment sections from a demographic that isn't 100% representative of your target market.

That's quite a claim without numbers.

It looks like part of the point of this post is to illuminate/explore that hypothesis. Or, is that how you're interpreting his findings?

100 installs from 10,000 visitors for starters.

I think most visitors, like myself, visit a lot of these posted links to read up on the project/end-result, out of curiosity and for expanding my knowledge on various subjects.
