Is Product Hunt Dying?

I've noticed a surge in low-effort launches, copycat products, and templated AI spam.

What’s worse? Paid upvotes are winning the day. Quality no longer equals visibility.

Real builders pouring months into crafting unique, valuable products are often buried under noise. Meanwhile, “Weekend hacks” with fancy landing pages and fake engagement top the charts.

It used to be a place where innovation got discovered. Now it’s a leaderboard of who has the better hype machine.
