Every day, after launching, makers are contacted on LinkedIn and X by people offering to sell votes. As the Product Hunt team, we are very much aware of this and really hate it. We have systems in place to neutralize this type of gaming. Every vote counts for a different number of points on Product Hunt. A couple examples:

• An account with a recently created gmail address and no history of quality contributions on Product Hunt: this vote will count for 0 points. Yes, this might be a well intentioned user, but we take a conservative approach to protect the community. If the account has a company email or applies for verification on Product Hunt, that's a different story.

• An account with a company email address linked to a legitimate LinkedIn account with a history of meaningful contributions on Product Hunt: this vote carries significant weight.

A couple questions for the community:

• Are there specific accounts on Product Hunt that you suspect participate in vote selling? You can reply here or email report@producthunt.co

• What would you want to see us do differently here?

I've heard and read both "users ignore it completely" and "it's the most useful signal we have". Seems like the difference is mostly about when and how you ask.

Just launched PulseAhead on PH today - lifecycle surveys for SaaS teams. Would love to hear real experiences from people who've been through this.

I m exploring how websites that rely on AI-generated content manage updates when underlying information changes or new information needs to be added. For example: if an AI writes an article about "Best Practices for SEO in 2023," how do you efficiently update it to "2024" incorporating new additions in a coherent way without regenerating the entire piece?

Regenerating the whole article would be inefficient as it could erase formatting, disrupt internal links. Also it probably wouldn't send the right signal to search engines where whole article changes for every update.

Every day, enterprises around the world use Tydy to successfully onboard & engage 1000's of employees and in doing so - increase retention in their organizations.
