Have you noticed how the most memorable Product Hunt launches are the ones that let their personality shine?
After years on Product Hunt, I've come to realise that the launches I remember are really just the entertaining ones.
It's the ones that just feel fun - they're funny, don't take themselves too seriously, and showcase a product without feeling like an 'ad'.
However, I feel like Product Hunt launches seem to be increasingly following a monotone - the launch videos / assets, and even the first maker comment, seems to be following a specific template.
I'm 100% guilty of this - and have been for various launches π
- and I think we should kind of break free from convention a little bit and start bringing our personalities with our launches.
Don't you miss the good old days of Product Hunt, where each launch felt like a fun show and tell?
Some folks I look up to in this regard:

I'm _trying_ to be the change I seek.
I made a (mildly) amusing launch video for my launch today. You can check it out here -

What do you think about all this? π
