New accounts liking launch -> negative or positive impact?

Hi everyone, We're gearing up for our ProductHunt launch and would really appreciate your insights. Do votes from newly created accounts, made just before our launch, impact our final rating positively or negatively? I've heard that these votes carry less weight compared to those from older, more active accounts. Is there a chance that these votes could even negatively affect our rating? Thanks in advance for your help!

I've heard the same, but I doubt they will be negative, probably just a very low weighting. Good luck :D

Votes from new accounts can be like a box of chocolates - you never know what you're gonna get! While they can add to your tally, older accounts may hold more weight in the algorithm. Good luck with your ProductHunt launch!

New account will have low weighting, I would suggest that your team could set up some active accounts ahead of time in preparation for the launch

@jackeye thank you! Do you know that to be considered a "active campaign", is it sufficient to just create it a few months ahead or how active do our colleagues need to be - i.e. is liking another post once fine or does ProductHunt actively look that the accounts show a lot of engagement?
