@lisa_steingold1 It has fake written all over it. lol. Jk. You can check out their account, they have no real identity out of PH.

I don't vouch for their number, but I meet such accounts. I just walk on by. Or find the owner of the clones))

Tyler Scott · Answer

Too many. But what sucks is they probably have more opportunities for visibility than I do. Practically every week I'm contacting Product Hunt support to refresh my account because it's shadow banned it for no good reason. It's very annoying and detrimental to my engagement on this site. Meanwhile I see commenters with obvious ChatGPT responses and it's super annoying.

Fake profiles to boost product artificially?

Lisa Steingold · Answer

Really? How do you know if a profile is fake? 🤔

Answer

@bogomep does this actually work? Because I have heard PH comes down hard on fake profiles & are good at maintaining an authentic community

@lisa_steingold1 you see the interactions here. Go to their profile and see, they’ve got nothing.
