Comment on Product Hunt isn't dying, it's becoming gentrified

Comments

Product Hunt exists to make Product Hunt money and not promote your business.

If you look at it through that lens, it makes perfect sense what is going on there.

The only reason Product Hunt exists is because others use it to promote their business. ;) making money from all of this is simply a side-effect of the value add.

You could say that about any advertising product, none of which are necessarily altruistic.
