How do you perceive competition on Product Hunt on the same day?

My question is as follows, and I'll ask it right at the beginning:

Do you ask for help with upvoting from the people you're competing with on that day?

The following thing happened to me:

Someone approached me on X, saying that we're both launching on the same day and asked if I could reschedule it.

On the one hand, it occurred to me: "Wow, is there a real fear that I might "overshadow" someone?"

The second thing that occurred to me is that the team doesn't believe in their product enough.

So listen:

I personally don't think that being on the platform long enough will guarantee me success.

Because:

– someone else may have a hunter who is even more active and has even more followers

– someone may have a big team and contact people who will support the launch

– someone may have such a good product and be a solo founder that we will watch with our mouths open.

I don't think glorifying big profiles helps the situation.

Has something like this ever happened to you?

How do you treat competition launching on the same date?
