I'd rather that everyone knew about it than no one. There's no such thing as too much advertising I'm afraid!
There most definitely is. It is incredibly irritating and it really does make you (certainly did for me) much less inclined to purchase it. As it turned out, I did purchase it - but that was down to the product - not your advertising techniques/visibility.
Karthy isn't suggesting doing no advertising whatsoever - obviously, that's a ridiculous notion - but scaling back slightly, I think, would be beneficial. I lost count of how many times I came on here, read "MUST BUY NOW!! TEN COPIES REMAINING!!" and thought, honestly, "Fcuking hell, is he still banging on about that?!". I think the style of advertising you go for doesn't help. Really forcing it on people, and claiming that there are only so many copies remaining - only to see a post two weeks later with the same number of copies left, or fractionally less.
I understand that you are probably going to be a little irritated after reading that - but it is absolutely not a personal dig. It is honest and well intentioned feedback, and I think people will almost unanimously agree with me. Just something to bare in mind for next time.
