Comment on Show HN: Upboat, idea validation with a twist

Comments

Who's benefiting from not releasing contact information until a certain threshold is met?

The users who are upboating. Do you want to be one of 5 supporters, and then get emailed to use a product with just the other 4? If it doesn't reach 200+, there's also somewhat more incentive for the author of the idea to use the emails for other purposes than the posted idea.
