Title: For a few weeks, I am doubting if HN is another &quot;user engagement&quot; place like you know Reddit, FB etc.
It seems a waste of times (to me) as I don&#x27;t see any tangible benefits I am getting out of it.<p>So I would like to know if any of you have such experiences. I am specifically looking for stories like:
1) I posted this project and I started some company. Sold it or earning a lot of money or living my dream
2) I was hired because of my post on HN.
3) Girls chasing you because of your reputation as HN or met your wife because of your cool project ( Please don&#x27;t hate me for this)<p>Basically money, power etc..<p>Forgive me for being blunt but I am not looking for &quot;10-sec fame&quot;. I mean one day you got traffic 100K on the website. Good. But just
for one day. Also, I am not sure blogging count as a tangible benefit unless it is paid service. I hope you understand my point.<p>Also intellectual debate, I get more information, I feel smart as benefits etc. don&#x27;t count in this context.
