Who is your ideal user? Do you think this person frequents ProductHunt? That's your answer.

My experience is that the main users of PH are those launching a product.

I'll also add: after my PH launch, I experienced a lot of email spam from "growth hacker" types. I suspect they scrape PH. I tried to take down our post (because the spam was overwhelming), but PH refused.

I like nicer products but last time I found a good product on PH was about 5 years ago. The best of awards every year also hints at how bad it is - most of those products aren't even that good.

I noticed some things did do really well, like a list of decks from successful startups. Again, reinforcing that the main user of PH are people trying to launch a product.
