Its so confusing to understand what will make you enter the top 5 list on PH. Even though the upvotes are more the product with less comments will go down. Did figure out this calculations yet?

On a lighter note, you guys already know the answer right??? :)

They say it is the pure count of upvotes (confirmed from Product hunt support on chat - should have taken a screenshot) for a product.

@nick_mapup not sure :) We got more votes with our product on launching day, but still get second place

@nick_mapup @kpyto I think they consider the comments too

@kpyto I agree its somethng else too. I wish the PH support could have gven us the real deets here. Reviews and comments add a lot qualitatively.

I understand the drive to get ranking but from my perspective, the broader goal is to receive comments to improve the product so that is where I'll focus.
