Community is okay, but it's not as effective as a mailing list, media coverage (press, influencers, streamers), and so on. How many news channels did you talk to before launch? How many emails and notifications did you send out? Yeah, it does piss people off, but this is where they "harvest". Often they align a PH launch with the official launch too, so people are more excited to upvote and such as opposed to a community that's been around for two years. Hype also drowns down in time. An ideal hype window seems to start at max 3 months before launch, and usually drums up quickly near release. Most of the trending stuff on PH now is AI too, so Novu still seems to be doing the best in category.
