How do badges on Product Hunt work? Who assigns them?

@leo_from_london It's interesting and would love to learn about how the algorithm works. What exactly does the system consider a bright idea?

@sviridov I agree, automatically assigned. https://help.producthunt.com/en/...

@sviridov @lizworthy Thanks for the link. appreicate it. Like I said, It's interesting and would love to learn about how the algorithm works. What exactly does the system consider a bright idea or a thoughtful comment or something else for that matter!

@sviridov @viks_rum For the bright idea, at the least, I think your product comment needs to be liked by a maker. It may also need certain key words or perhaps there is minimum length?

@burmistrov Got it. The link in the first comment helps a lot.

@shivangiawasthi True for some badges but I was more interested to learn about how the other kinds of badges that are not task driven and standard awarded such as gemologist.
