Why is my post invisible?

Question

Hi, I posted earlier about my company shutdown but it's only visible to me.Basically I just wanted a little discourse about failing whilst maintaining some anonymity and HN is where I hang out.I used a throwaway because I want to remain anonymous at this point in time. I see throwaway's used for these types of posts so I'm guessing that that is not the reason.

Hi, Your two posts were invisible for most other people because they are "dead" and "dead" posts are invisible in HN's default settings.
I think (not sure) that it is because it has been downvoted. I do not know why. Maybe because it is difficult to comment as there is no context.
I could see both posts because I like to watch dead posts (an option in HN's profile).
