ProductHunt creates good SEO, allows investors to discover you, and provides good marketing material if you reach a high spot. I don't think you should expect more than that indeed.

Also the system is now completely rigged by community of makers that exchange upvotes

To the second point if you look at the comments carefully you do tend to see "clusters" of names that appear awfully suspicious. The most common one I see is a flood of Indian names when an Indian founder posts something. I mean, I'm happy to see communities supporting each other, but there is clearly some gaming of the leaderboards happening.
