Anyway - maybe someone thinks it's too repetative to add each post to hackernews? I don't think so (because I think of getting pasive income myself and find your post interesting), but I can understand if somebody did think that way - after all people interested in your posts could go to your page to read next posts, if they wanted to.
I don't know if that's the reason, but I've flagged your post by accident (wanted to click "comments"). But then I unflagged it, so this doesn't count?

"Front Page Service" is not a right - it is a result. The result of an algorithm that measures several factors that represent the level of interest from the HN community.
It is a little bizarre - I find your posts incredibly useful for the mobile space - so why this would get downvoted (if that's the reason) is beyond me.
I think this member of our community is upset at not getting continuous front page feature.

Depending on how the upvotes came, there's some code to detect voting rings and externally-driven votes, and reduce their effect. So if for example it was 7 people who came from a link elsewhere (or who you know and asked to upvote it), that might explain it. No idea if that's the case here, just a possible mechanism other than being manually penalized.
