Ha - here's the advice I give to YC startups about making demo videos for HN:

"What works well for HN is raw and direct, with zero production values. Skip any introductions and jump straight into showing your product doing what it does best. Voiceover is good, but no marketing slickness—no fancy logos or background music!"

I guess there's zero production values and zero production values...

Well... we took the rawness to heart, that's clear!

Totally agree. Raw is great, but energy matters too. If the person sounds bored, it's hard to get excited about the product—even if it's amazing. Passion is contagious.

That's true, thanks for the feedback! In the end, it wasn't boredom, but the long work - put too much energy into the platform ;) Taking it to heart for the next one!
