This reads like an ad for TipRanks.


sort by: page size:

This feels like an extended ad for tipranks.com

The fact that all four "top tips" are actually ads for services (e.g. a logo design marketplace) is a bit slimy.

I'm hoping the designer was intentionally referencing the surreal "Top Tips" from UK comedy magazine Viz to undermine this effort.

The writing in this article feels like an algorithmic rewrite of content from elsewhere, hosted on an ad farming site. While the topic is interesting, I wouldn't feel bad if this sort of site was not ranked this high on HN.

Not going to lie, the article reads like a content spinner SEO bot and advertisement for your services.

This seems like it's just a click-baity ad for their productivity analysis tools. I struggle to find a single thing of value in this post.

TLDR: write at a lower grade level for more appeal.

It's a sales pitch for what seems like a multi-level direct sales marketing scheme dressed in a marketing copywriting school. The post is bait; the hook is the link at the bottom.


This reads like an infomercial... like someone was paid to write it.

This article feels more like an ad for where the author works.

Reads like a sponsored post.

This is click bait to OP's site. The list appears to be obvious and provides nothing especially novel. The OP's entire submission history is such advertisements.

This just reads like an ad for Dell. As the pages (and banners) roll on, the tips get less entrepreneurial, and far less "must-read".

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I got a fishy feeling from reading that post.

It's like it's written to not mean much, but get money from ad impressions. I didn't like the post in general, nor the title.

I don't think he makes very good points, except the variable/conditional/etc thing.


It's a sales pitch for hiredfor.com to disaffected, unemployed people. But they buried the lede under a bunch of gold bugging.

At the end, he gives you the recipe for your new favorite cocktail.

What is the HN score threshold for downvoting front-page articles? Because this garbage desperatley deserves it.


The article is an advertisement for their "URL Rating".

This is an advertisement for a service disguised as an informative article. The info it provides is pretty basic and it's just farming clicks for signups from HN.

It reads like borderline marketing spam, something from the 2012-2016 era when productivity apps and gurus were all the rave , like Tim Ferris and Neil Patel and such

This article itself reads like a piece of marketing to me.

Wow. This whole article stank worse than that unrelated dead deer reference. It's a textbook example of knocking others down (with almost no constructive advice) to promote yourself. I can't believe you use this as your example for your newly started $500/pop analysis consultancy.

Your only piece of "analysis" was suggesting that they build in a magical way to let others show off their tips... which they already have.

Honestly, you should really feel ashamed of this poorly researched and completely off "work".


This reads like those SEO spam headlines that link to a slideshow.
