Growth tactics (teaser)

HN resubmission: the same post about the infrastructure stack got 2 points (2023-02-18) → 291 points/213 comments when resubmitted half a year later (2023-08-07), the biggest traffic event in its entire history

the author personally joined a skeptical HN thread and disclosed figures (1M req/day, 7,500 businesses) under public pressure, which added trust and prolonged the discussion
Reddit was NOT a source of growth (checked, not a single mention found): all community growth came through Hacker News, not Reddit, contrary to the typical pattern
