Why do you think you're doing something wrong? Are you just in it for the points? Why would you care?<p>I actually clicked on your McLaren link earlier today, but it wasn't interesting enough for me to want to upvote it.<p>I only upvote things of interest, I only comment if I have something to add to the discussion.<p>I don't think people should care about how well their submissions do. That isn't the point of HN, maybe a shift in the way you view HN will change what you submit, but either way, enjoy the content, add to the community, don't try to 'win'.
