product hunt is dead. product hunt is not the same as it was years ago. if you had launched on product hunt 5-10 years ago, you would have gotten a lot of visitors and users. back then, vcs used to scout for interesting startups on product hunt. they don’t do that anymore nowadays there are too many products launching and people spamming for upvotes. if you launch on product hunt today, you’ll probably get more dms from people selling upvote services than from actual users. launch there if you want, but don’t spend too much time preparing for it. don’t expect more than a one-day spike in traffic, a few paying users (if you're lucky) and a backlink. instead, focus on scalable channels to grow your startup: - seo / aeo - social media - paid marketing - sales / outbound for b2b - word of mouth these channels will get you far more users than product hunt.
