Last month we shared a few ways we re combating spam and leveling the playing field for makers on Product Hunt.
As part of that effort, randomizing the leaderboard for the first two hours of the day is something we ve been testing. This two-hour period gives all products a chance to climb the ranks before votes start to lock in the leaderboard.
It s been a month since we enabled the test and the results are exciting. The median number of votes per product in the first two hours has doubled. Yes, doubled. This has created a level playing field for all makers at the beginning of the day. We re planning to expand the randomization period to four hours (from 12AM - 4AM PST), starting 4/21, to see what further improvements we can make on the ranking system.
