#2These posts contribute to the decline of HN. If you're here to get on the front page or to sell something you're here for the wrong reason and you should do us all a favor and find your pageviews somewhere else.

In particular, the gist of your post is better expressed by flagging OP.
[edit] On a related note, a post ``how others are gaming HN ranking algorithm to get more pageviews'' would indeed be relevant.

My ability to flag articles got taken away after I used it too much.

#7I assume 8:35am ET on Monday is the best time to submit, based on when this was submitted. No need to read the article ;-)

#8HN is turning into an entrepreneurship / self-help subreddit. The variance of the types of articles that reach the front pages has been dropping significantly IMHO. And I can't see any simple mechanism for restoring it, either.

#9It looks like this has disappeared from the front page despite 13 votes in 36 minutes. I assume it was flagged :-(
I understand it's a controversial topic, but I don't think this post violates any of the submission guidelines. If this was flagged, I would really appreciate feedback as to why. I don't want to invest time in future posts that might not see the light of day.
Thanks, RJM
