I've never really used Product Hunt as a user, only to launch things.
It was cool when everyone launched with 0 user to get some early feedback. Now everyone waits to have users to get upvotes & pay for advertising.
It has become useless except for getting a high DR backlink.
I mean even @levelsio is not posting his own projects there anymore.
I prefer to focus on real acquisition channels.
And for the community part, it's way better here on WIP.
I completely agree with you. Recently after actively spending months on PH, I can say other Indie Hacker communities like WIP and IH are way better than PH community which is kinda become like social media influence crap. Most of the discussions only happen to gain followers and benefit launch upvote count rather than genuine feedback oriented which it used to be.
