For a moment there, I thought I was reading The Onion.

I thought this was a pretty common thing.

It's a bit of of a movie/TV trope, especially after a character dies--the widow would try to preserve the scent of their spouse/lover via clothing, pillow, etc.

I think the srt file needs to have the same name as the main video file and they both need to be in the same folder.

I would have never imagined that salespeople deter customers from buying electric cars. But I think this could be used as a great selling point: The cars are so low maintenance make less money on more expensive vehicles.

Also, this situation is yet another reason why companies like Tesla need to be able to sell direct-to-consumers.

Again, how is it different than StartupLister or some CSS gallery submission service?

Those sites aren't selling links and neither am I. We're just filling out submission forms that need to be reviewed and rejected or accepted. And most of those sites use nofollow or obfuscated links and that's fine. The goal is to have BetaList--or whatever--showcase your site...not game Google.

So why is my site getting chewed out, but StartupLister (and others like it) is celebrated as a wonderful resource by HN and Reddit users (hence my footnotes)?

I honestly don't understand why people are struggling with this. I keep asking simple questions and I get answers that completely disregard everything I've said.

This will be my last comment on the matter.

Also, just to clarify, you don't have to submit to a bunch of sites all at once, you create a custom list and submit a few at a time.

And most sites are nofollow anyway (or they obfuscate their URLs) so what difference does it make?

Okay, so why isn't StartupLister sleazy for doing the same thing?

It's not nitpicking when correcting a meaningful mistake.

Yet, the author specific said, in his experience, that level of personalization made little difference.
