1. you are wrong about tc bc some actually do. (however, legitimate sign ups - you're probably right but how many are legitimate sign ups from tc in the first place. next how many of those legitimate sign ups become return, loyal users? very low %). ask the guys at fab.com what % of their 150,000 launch users came from tc. < 2%. 2. i'm a lifestyle site. why do i care about going to techcrunch or any other tech site to debut my site? it's irrelevant. we also had a landing page up for 2 months while working on the site to grab email addresses where we mixed giveaways and share options to get users. how many of these are "legitimate?" 7,000 are technically speaking; out of the much greater number that just input their email addresses and has yet to verify. time well tell if they're "legitimate" - but shooting for more than 10% at max is probably out of the question. nevertheless, don't question my numbers. why can you not help by answering my question? isn't that what hn is for? if you downvote a guy who had 1 fake account set up to get things moving (which in fact i technically didn't. just had one of my friends sign up and comment so the aforementioned comment is not valid). if you cry foul play than you should never vote on reddit since the entire site launched with fake comments to begin with. you should also go on and comment on dropbox acquisition of mailbox bc mailbox's counter. yeup that was fake. you should then monitor techcrunch every time a tinder article gets published and comment there since the entire supply side was created with fake hot girls to begin with. oh yeah btw. techcocktail. their monthly stupid competition that is the core part of their business? it's all fake. mechanical turk wins the race on the last day of voting after 11am. true story.
