Does product hunt help good products with small reach?

I've been quite active on the product hunt for the last 30days and I've made some observations out of it. Before that, I have a question. Does product hunt help only the products backed up by organizations or influencers or people with networks to reach? As per my observation, it seems yes, with a probability of more than 90%. Products, no matter how normal or uninteresting, if they are backed up by people with influence or networks seem to get the top spot, no matter how better the other products are in most scenarios. I'm looking for the real and hard truths.

Oh, I'm going to follow this 🙂 A question, how should it be working? Ideally I mean? It seems to me, that there is a problem with bunching up together all of the products. A calendar app and a product helping software developers in developing (games, web apps, APIs), crypto things, apps that are essentially games and so on ... Some will just hit a larger audience. Not everybody is tech savy or a Dev on here. So, a product might actually be amazing and not be in the top 10 if it launched on a day when a lot "lists" and "happy-fun-time" apps are launched. Don't have nothing against those apps, just maybe somehow differentiate them from the ones that are more "techy"... Not sure this is solvable at the moment though 🤷

@davor_kolenc BTW, this question will not reach many people at least as per my knowledge. Reaching and getting reactions is different. I'm just telling about the reach.
