Turn on showdead to see all the other comments that didn't show up. You can vouch (if you have >500 karma) for individual comments to make them not dead.

If you're getting that feeling due to your HN account, it's because you're shadowbanned. Only people with showdead will see your comments. It's actually really impressive how you've managed to write hundreds of comments to void for the last half a year without picking up on the hint.
There's a good chance you're not picking up on hints IRL either. Maybe ask a blunt friend what they think of you? The industry is small and people talk.
There's only a small handful of HNers who upvote OT/CRDT/sync/realtime database submissions. So by now everyone is tired of seeing him promote gun.js again and again without contributing any other relevant technical insights.
Which is a goddamn shame. There aren't that many others who have first hand experience implementing these systems successfully. The other regulars who always appear in these threads get upvoted to high heavens even if they aren't saying much because we value these first hand accounts so much (josephg for share.js, raphlinus for xi editor's crdt, etc). But unfortunately after seeing gun.js hundreds of times I still have no idea how it works and his code is completely unreadable.
I don't think he realizes that if he had just explained why gun.js is amazing in a relevant way, others would help promote gun.js for him.
@MarkNadal Sorry if this was too mean
