    (legend: "POTD" = Product Of The Day) Right after the Unvalidated Ideas' 100 ideas for $10 launch, I got an email that went something like this: > "I saw you launched your Fresh Startup/SaaS Ideas on producthunt. Here top position app got many upvotes and your product got only a few upvotes & I think it's too less." > > "If you want to rank your Producthunt site in the top position, you can contact with me. I'll help you. It's totally organic and safe method." Big "hmnnnnnn" vibes 🤔. Has anyone noticed an uptick in fraudulent offers for boosting and automated solicitation on PH lately? Well I guess I shouldn't be unfair, I don't know if it's fraudulent or not -- this may very well be a completely legitimate operation.

    @sewell_stephens Yeah it's pretty silly. I know there's some "technique" to launching properly on PH (and I do a terrible job at it to be honest), but I'm not quite at the place where I would pay for it. Guess it's not that rare of an occurrence though.
