Ask HN: Does a Product Hunt launch still matter when upvotes can be bought?

First off, cool product. I've been seeing you guys all over Twitter recently. (Which also begs the question... did you put $ into creator marketing?)

I'd say PH launch is just what it's always been. One part of your overall launch strategy, and should be used as such. It's still a great tool to use, and even if it gets flooded with bots, it will continue to be. The only ones who notice the bots are the launchers, not really the users. Or at least, not to the same degree.

Ah, I see. That clarifies things. Until today, I was a user. But this change in roles brought a perspective change.

Honestly, we are lucky to have one of the founders bring his huge network of contacts from all over the world, as he has organized large events in this space and was a CDXO for a worldwide company.

I'd agree now that we are launching we notice, before - not so much
