I have noticed many times how valuable HN comments can be. So many skilled people are contributing and provide top level advices.

Nonetheless, It seems to me this occurs even more after a startup failed. I noticed (completely unscientific approach here) posts or questions about failure get many times more feedback/comments than the one about asking idea at subjectively the same quality content.

To be honest, I failed many time to get some feedback about my new startup. I tried to post at different time, with various subject without success. Last post I submitted (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5601127) got a single extra point and 2 comments. I'd definitely appreciate to be helped to discover my obvious mistakes before that would be too late.

Do I really have to fail first to get your valuable advices/feedback?
