I'm not saying it to be negative. Its the standard way to get any type of endevour that needs a network effect(hype) to get off the ground. When starting a band its really hard to get people to come to your shows and listen to your music. But if you get together with a group of other like minded bands and start pumping each other up, it looks like you are already popular and attracts attention. Standard scene building stuff. I just wanted to clarify that Product Hunt does not appear to be an organically created phenomenon, but a very engineered process that from the looks of things was very well executed. I could also be completely wrong.
