Every day all PH products are copied EXCEPT the order.

People don't have to submit their launches separately.

Built-in mechanism to prevent voter fraud.

Is it possible to eliminate the parameters?

    Can you elaborate?

      ProductHunt has had a referrer parameter at the end since the beginning of the lunch (2013) and I am wondering if this is good practice.

      It may be a benefit to the issuer's marketing, but not to the consumer.

      The reason is that consumers manually remove the parameter `?ref=foo` when they bookmark or share a page correctly as a courtesy to the product developer.

      I like Hotdog Punk, It's enough as alt PH.

      I just question the practice that has been going on for over a decade. I am eagerly awaiting a new alternative technology that puts developers first.
