What do you do with spammers who want you to support their PH launch?

I get tons of "invitations" in my social channels and e-mail to vote for PH launches. Even if I respectfully deny, because I consider this a spam I still get messages like "it's just one click". I am sure lots of projects strive for that click and think that putting artificial clicks will change their business. It wont. Fake is a fake. I do support projects that I see posted and have a chance to try them. They of course need to contribute something to the areas that I am interested in.

I completely understand your frustration with spammy requests for PH launch support. I handle it by politely declining and focusing on supporting projects that genuinely interest me and add value
I do it like @andreas_sohns 👍

Hi Bogomil, I hear you. There are a lot of requests for sure, but in my view, everyone is on a Product Hunt to launch a Product at some stage, so "paying it forward" is part of the community. As Andreas mentioned, I take the same approach & engage around the launches that interest me & that I think add value to humanity or solve a big issue, & politely decline those that don't.
