No, I meant it. There are quite a lot of VC's and angel investors throwing money around (gold rush), so instead of being the companies trying to get investment (digging for gold), product hunt is connecting investors to products (selling pickaxes), though I guess they must be successful enough to be invested in, so that sort of spoils the metaphor I guess.
