We’re trying to push things back towards the original goal. Something I’m now telling people who ask for help or SCP inclusion is that Show HN isn’t Product Hunt; it’s not for launching your product and capturing signups, it’s for showcasing interesting/deep innovation that others can learn from. Of course we can’t stop anything being submitted but we can avoid promoting projects that lack substance and we can downrank posts that are not worthy of the front page or a high place on the Show page.
