How do you deal with fake product downloads from bots (Chrome Web Store, Play Store, AppStore)?

Over the past week, several Chrome extension owners (myself included) have experienced a rather unusual situation.

Bots apparently operating from Romanian IP addresses are mass-installing extensions, but the number of active users remains completely unchanged.

Launching soon on PH, some advice...

Hi everyone,
I'm planning to launch soon on PH. I would appreciate some help on how to plan that, what should my checklist look like.
I think most important questions are:
1. Should I get a hunter to launch for me or help our or do a self hunted launch? My app is a dev tool - email api for devs and agents.

2. I don't have a large audience yet ~200 users. Should I wait until I hae a larger audience. I have another project that is older that has ~2K users - should I launch that first? It's a differnet product - a P2P video CDN.

3. My research is pulled from all launches in October via API, and the AI analyzing what works best. It seems I have to change my copy and illustrations, layout. Is the recommendations sound?
This is my current checklist built with AI research:
MailKite Launch - https://mailkite.dev
- 1. Pick one wedge. Launch as Receive email as a webhook. No mail server.

Which platforms should entrepreneurs use to represent their businesses?

I noticed one interesting thing.
Many solo founders are more present on X

Those VC-funded are trying to get a better position on LinkedIn (which makes sense since it is a professional / career / b2b platform

not so many tho is present or active on the biggest ones, where there can be the most consumers (Meta/IG)  and when I found such a business owner there, he usually was by the pool in swimwear. Some posts even didn't look good or appropriate :D
Personally, if someone has a bigger audience, some status and a huge company, I would expect more formal posts or at least locking the account, or creating a separate one that is more representative.
