Does Launching with a Hunter Really Make a Difference?

Hi everyone,

I’m about to launch my product, ViralSort 2.0, and I’m exploring whether to launch with a Product Hunt hunter or do it on my own.

I’ve launched a few products both with hunters and independently, but I’m still not convinced which approach truly drives more visibility, engagement, or traction.

Has anyone tried launching with a hunter?

Did it make a noticeable difference, or would you recommend submitting independently?

I’d love to hear your experiences, insights, or even lessons learned from both approaches!
