Does live-streaming of the PH launch really helps?
I often see this tactic on X (where you can create and host your Live Space) + on YouTube. 🎥
I think that the very first time I saw it when @_maxblade was streaming.
Then more and more people started doing it.
IMO, it is a good tactic when you have a powerful fanbase/community on a certain platform.
Do you think it is a "strong invitation" to participate in upvoting?
What other (unusual) tactics can help?

I think it can actually be effective, especially if you have an engaged audience on platforms like X or YouTube. For Wisery's launch today (https://www.producthunt.com/post...), we didn’t go that route since we don’t have a big community on those platforms yet, but it’s something we’d consider in the future.
As for whether it’s a strong “invitation” to upvote—well, it’s a bit tricky. I think it’s more about driving awareness and engagement, but Product Hunt might see it as a request for upvotes, which isn’t allowed. So, I wonder if anyone here successfully used live-streaming for a launch without crossing that line?
@oksana_ch It seems that it is more relevant when you are a big YouTube and Twitter creator. People naturally within your community go support you.
@busmark_w_nika yes, true. we are working on our channels on YouTube (for other projects though), but unfortunately, we can't be considered as BIG creators (at least for now)
@kay_arkain At least, you can have publicity when nothing else. :D
Yeah, without having a community around your product, it might not be that fruitful.
Yes, live-streaming helps expand your reach! Not everyone can attend in person.
@purnima_sharma6 I think it can be at least good to be visible because X shows livestreams in side panel.
