How do reviews and feedback from the Product Hunt community influence product iterations?

Reviews and feedback from the Product Hunt community influence product iterations by providing real-time insights into user experiences and preferences, highlighting potential areas for improvement, identifying bugs or usability issues, and fostering a direct connection between developers and consumers, enabling more informed and responsive changes to features, design, and functionality.

These reviews aren't very effective because the product owner requests reviews or upvotes. A person actively using the product can provide a more honest review. Additionally, a user who has been using the product for an extended period is more likely to give a genuine review.
