At this point, the Producthunt frontpage consists mostly of Notion, Low-Code/No-Code and microfinace.

Account Wall

The frontpage can now only be browsed completely with an account. After five products of the most recent day, there is an unavoidable request to log in.

Community

For the last few months there has hardly been any constructive feedback, only praise. I haven't seen any suggestions for improvement for days, only short generic congratulations that could also be written by bots.

This is the norm, seen today: https://imgur.com/a/HRnX76b

I don't mean to say that I reject the positive atmosphere, but feedback is especially important for startups and beta software. Not every launch is done in a mature state, and it's fine if not necessary to point this out.

Producthunt was my favourite site in the past. It is unfortunate that the community growth seems to be having a negative effect.
