@ourielohayon I tend to side with the makers of novel products, but this is pretty ridiculous. But the real issue is the 209 people who upvoted it. If we stop upvoting, hopefully more meaningful products will come on PH! :)

@ourielohayon one of the things I like most about Product Hunt is the variety (and often surprise) of what I discover every day. Some days you'll find silly sites like this or an innovative and (potentially very impactful) app that helps blind people see.
Upvotes are a demonstration of interest and entirely subjective. I often don't "agree" that the #1 ranked product is really the best or most compelling thing posted in the day, but someone else may think differently. And that's OK.
That said, I'm always open to ideas on how to improve discovery and the homepage (big update coming soon)!

@ourielohayon - All products doesn't have to be serious all the time, you know! A humor once in a while is healthy. Let's try not to read too much between the lines and respect the upvotes it has got!
@rrhoover - upvotes do suggest that they liked "something" about it and it's not necessarily bad!

If 209 people upvoted it, then it's already a meaningful product for THEM (if not you).

@rajaraodv I don't really agree with that assertion. There's 2 meta categories that PH products seem to fall under. Actual products (i.e. functional/useful/innovative) and virally novel products (i.e. this). Both have potential for a lot of upvotes, but one's upvotes are cerebral while the other is synonymous with upvoting a cat video that's farting.
Just because the latter gets upvoted doesn't mean it's meaningful to anyone, including the people that upvoted it. Personally I think this goes against the value of PH. This isn't "The Youtube for Products", it's the "PH for Products".

@rrhoover @ourielohayon Haha, on a more serious note Decisiv.co might help. It's simple criteria based decision making application.
