Most people phone it in on their 404 page. Some of you didn t. If yours has a little personality or went completely off the rails drop it here. Let s see who actually tried.

During the week, I receive a lot of questions about Product Hunt, and some of them are very frequent. I thought I would post the most frequent ones here, and a possible answer to them.
Is it worth having a hunter?
If the hunter has a large follower base, a strong community, and a good reputation (and your product is also good, i.e. it will be featured): YES, IT IS WORTH HAVING A HUNTER. It will multiply your visibility and success
Product Hunt is great for discovery , but sometimes there are concerns about authenticity and trust when products are submitted by people not affiliated with them.
Would verifying domain ownership (e.g., via email or DNS) help ensure that only legitimate makers or teams can submit a product? Or would it add too much friction to the launch process?
I support structured, high-value discussions nobody wants forums filled with spam and self-promotion. But here s the issue: understanding what qualifies as valuable.
Product Hunt s updated guidelines push for original, engaging, and non-replicable content. Makes sense. But when posts disappear without clear reasoning, it creates confusion.
Where s the line between sharing insights and self-promotion?
What defines a post as high-value in this new system?
Why not offer feedback instead of outright removals?
Stronger moderation is great if paired with transparency. Instead of guessing what works, clearer guidelines and examples could help everyone create better discussions.
