... and just like that everyone all of a sudden hates product hunt on hacker news. I don't understand most of these comments.

Product Hunt is still very new and we're already talking about how the algorithm is no good and bad tweeting practices.

Of course other users are going to ask their friends to upvote their submissions. Of course the founders are going to make sure that quality products are shown near the top. Of course the founders are going to make sure that engagement is higher even if that means notifying users via twitter.

Why can't we just say congratulations!? Why do we have to hate so quickly? Everyone acts like they have been doing this for 10 years and they should have all this stuff fixed by now.

Why can't we just say congratulations!?

Because not everything should get a gold star just by existing.
