    So many of them- I just ignore them when I spot them. I don't know if there is anything else we can do

    I think Product hunt already does a very good job by flagging the launches that are being upvoted through bots, so I am not worried about them, the one who should be worried are the hunters who are launching and consdiering to use them, its going to go in the negative side of things.

    Encountered some bots on Product Hunt? I once had a bot frenzy that made me feel like I stumbled into a robot disco party! Handled it by reporting them to the Product Hunt team quicker than you can say "Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V."
