OpenAI is considering buying Pinterest. Do you see this acquisition as promising?

Today, I read in the news that OpenAI is considering "expanding its data footprint" and possibly buying Pinterest, as there is a lot of data on it just for the sake of users finding inspiration (which can be key for purchase decision making and understanding personas Pinterest has 600M+ users).

I also take into account how Pinterest started to resent the proliferation of AI content there users do not like it so much (as far as I know, OpenAI also wants to have its own social network, and Sora curation is a bit reminiscent of that)

2026 and your goals. Let's try to set them for Q1.

Since I haven't been able to meet my work goals very well in the last few quarters, I now plan to approach them more systematically and not push myself too hard on work goals, as that ultimately led to problems that made my plan less sustainable.

So here is my structure and list:

Simon here, 11 years since my last PH Launch

Hey everyone

I m Simon.

I last launched something on Product Hunt back in 2014 - which feels like a lifetime ago in internet years. Since then I ve built, scrapped, learned, and spent a lot of time thinking about how products actually get used versus how we think they ll get used.

What’s the most overrated advice about optimizing a LinkedIn profile?

There s no shortage of LinkedIn profile advice, but a lot of it feels disconnected from reality.

In your experience:

  • What profile tips do you see repeated that don t actually change outcomes?

  • What does seem to matter when deciding whether to trust, follow, or message someone?

  • If someone only fixed one thing on their profile, what should it be?

Who is worth following on LinkedIn?

Since I've been trying to up my LinkedIn game, I want to connect with the most prominent people on the platform. (Ideally, in the marketing field.)

LinkedIn was primarily a B2B platform or a platform for getting a job (HR segment), but I can see more emerging creators and influencers/stars, who can earn money from sponsorships. If you know how to treat the content, you can get a chance to stand out and create posts that bring you results.

LinkedIn Profile Audit by HookTide - Your LinkedIn looks like a resume. We fix that.

Most LinkedIn tools help you post more content. HookTide focuses on the one thing people actually judge first: your profile. We audit the static surface investors and clients scan in seconds, score real conversion signals (clarity, positioning, CTAs, proof), and show exactly where trust breaks. You get a clear score and a short fix list you can complete in under 30 minutes - no guessing, no agencies, no influencer tactics.
