How much does it take to pay a hunter on PH in order to be featured these days? asking for a friend.

  I think the go to rate was $5k, this is maybe 6 months ago. It was a friend who told me after they asked a famous ex-Uber employee to hunt them

    That's why I have never found a single useful product on ProductHunt for years now. It has become an absolute farce that it should be illegal.

      I was just thinking how much PH has turned to shit lately when I saw this in #2 spot today: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/linkbuildr-for-wordpress https://www.producthunt.com/posts/linkbuildr-for-wordpress Really? A Wordpress "Linkbuildr" that automates spamming emails when you write posts? And nothing but praise in the comments? PH has become a joke and we definitely need some ethical competition in the product discovery space.

        I used AlternativeTo to find alternatives to product hunt, and it came up as the top suggestion: https://alternativeto.net/software/alternativeto/ https://alternativeto.net/software/alternativeto/ https://alternativeto.net/software/product-hunt/ https://alternativeto.net/software/product-hunt/

        Couldn’t agree more. Yesterday I was browsing the top product of the day to see what future competition was like and the product was a color swatch that gave you similar colors for inspiration. It looked like they mashed together a codepen with a color swatch api I’ve starred but I won’t even bother linking to here. It’s sad for sure.

          Could it be that there aren't that many exciting new products coming out? Or is that blasphemy?
          • TomMarius 7y ago
            But there are a lot of new exciting products.
            • omarchowdhury 7y ago
              Where do you usually come across them?
              • TomMarius 7y ago
                Hacker News, lately, because I don't come anywhere else. I'd say I find a good product every 5 days.

                I sometimes use https://10words.io https://10words.io sign up for their newsletter for 5 products per email.

    Would love to know that as well ;) Our hunter had signed up to our private beta launched via Product Hunt Upcoming and that's how we got connected.
