    For the past two weeks I have been getting a lot of pings from random IPs. The referrer is always Product Hunt. Here are the IPs: 73.158.173.145 104.28.85.95 104.28.85.96 98.15.7936 Does anyone know of what this could be?

    I noticed that spam traffic issue too; it's likely due to some bots or a coordinated effort to manipulate metrics, and it's something that needs to be addressed by the ProductHunt team for sure.
