So anybody can hunt a product. All product hunt followers of the hunter will get a notification about the launch. That is the main reason to use a hunter.

Hunter usually also shares their launch on other social platforms, so you can be a good hunter without product hunt followers if you have a nice follower base on other social media like LinkedIn or Twitter.

Thanks for asking the question - something I was also interested to know!

Hi Maria, based on my experience, you can ask anybody to hunt their product, usually via Twitter DMs, no need to have a specific number of followers.
I don't know so much about the PH algorithm, anyway when you post a product, its position goes up depending on the votes and interactions it gets on Launch day.

Hope it helps a little ;)

@fabian_maume Great! This is very valuable explanation, and now I have much clearer image of how it's working / what's the point.. Thanks a lot Fabian! ^_^ So, basically, if I want to become a hunter, or if I want to have hunters for my product - I must contact makers / hunters via other platforms and ask them for it, right?
