I've been closely observing Product Hunt launches, and I noticed something intriguing—many featured apps receive 50+ upvotes almost instantly within the first 5 minutes of going live. This raises a few questions: - Is Product Hunt giving a visibility boost or bonus upvotes to featured apps? - Do featured apps automatically get shown to a larger audience right away, leading to more immediate engagement? - Is there some algorithm at play that helps them gain traction faster compared to non-featured apps? - Are these early upvotes purely from their own pre-planned community engagement (like newsletters, social media, etc.), or is there another factor involved? I’m really curious about how this works. If anyone has insights or has experienced this firsthand, I’d love to understand the reasoning behind it!
