Is anyone else suspicious of products that look too polished on launch day?

Been browsing Product Hunt for a while without an account and finally made one.

Something I've noticed about my own reactions. When a launch page is really slick, a nice demo video, a beautiful site, testimonials already in place, I get a little suspicious. I know that's unfair, plenty of good products have good design. But my experience has been that the polish on launch day doesn't tell me anything about whether the thing works when I actually use it.

Some of the roughest-looking listings I've clicked on turned out to be the most solid tools. And some of the prettiest ones fell apart the moment I tried anything outside the demo flow.

Curious if anyone else has this bias. Has a really polished launch ever turned out to be exactly as good as it looked? Or is there a tell you've learned to spot?
