    Initially, I see whether the product is relevant to me. If it is, I'll give it a try. If I like it, I will comment and upvote. If it is not relevant, I will still check if they clearly state the product's USP. If it is clear, I'll upvote.

    I like to watch demo videos and then look at screenshots.

    I usually upvote a product on Product Hunt if it makes me go "Oh, that's clever!" or "Wow, how did they even think of that?"β€”kind of like finding hidden treasure in a sea of apps.

    Me too Igor! I watch the videos first, then look at the images. If I'm still confused, I'll read the hunter launch copy for the details. I'll vote if I think it's a good product πŸ™Œ the trouble is there are so many amazing products on product hunt!

    First thing I do is to visit the website. If it's clear what they're doing from the website, then I scroll and understand briefly, sometimes even signup and try it, and then make a comment and upvote. Sounds like a lengthy process, but it isn't. And otherwise, it feels shallow.

    @vertikanigam That sounds like a thoughtful and thorough approach! It's definitely more valuable than leaving a shallow comment without any real engagement.

    @sanja_micic Absolutely. Some might say I'm wasting time though, but I don't think so. Some products are awesome that I find there.

    Check the website, understand the idea and upvote if it looks useful to me, community and world out there.

    I would say: relevance, video, screenshots - then head to actually try it out. I do often Upvote based on the first 3 though!

    @jade_grimwood That makes a lot of sense! Prioritizing relevance, video, and screenshots before diving in to try the product is a practical approach. Nice method!
