What is the point of Product Hunt streaks?

I am guessing it is just to ensure you come back everyday and engage. I don’t know what you get in return for the streaks though

A hook to make you come every day. Benefits? No!

For users, it's just a vanity metric. But it does motivate you to visit PH every day.

Streaks provide a fun way to stay consistently engaged with the community. They encourage regular participation, which can lead to valuable connections and insights.

The gamification feature of PH encourages people to stay active in the community by logging in daily to catch up on news, support new launches, and cast their votes. It's a great way to foster a vibrant and engaged community, if you ask me.

It's just a gamification element to improve the users retentions (log-in)

Product Hunt streaks are like digital high-fives for consistently discovering cool products; plus, they're perfect for those who want to show off their eye for next-level innovations!
