Can't believe I keep feeding you guys stuff so I can get even more downvoted, but this almost feels like talking to a wall. This is my last comment on this thread because I know you'll probably say I'm wrong again, but I'll try my best to explain. 5 years ago if you built a cool project or startup you would pitch TechCrunch, Mashable, etc. (a handful of sites), and that was it. Most likely it would have been ignored. Then there's not much you can do. Nowadays there's room for creativity. You can even reach out to people on Twitter via @messages and get their attention. That didn't exist before. Also you guys make it sound like getting through the Product Hunt "gatekeepers" is some mission impossible but that only means you haven't tried, because if you tried you would know that they are also people just like you and want to share cool products. My point is, in the past, unless you spend lots of money you had little power over whether your project gets attention or not. Nowadays if you're on HN complaining about how it's same as back then, you're probably doing it wrong. There are tons of ways you can get exposure for your projects and you're not trying hard enough or not being creative enough if you're saying it's the same.
