This one short official answer kills the single most common Product Hunt myth: that you should mobilize everyone you know to upvote. Product Hunt says plainly not to, and explains that incentivized votes can actually get your product buried or removed. Read this before you draft a single outreach message.
This explains why buying upvotes is a waste of money, not just against the rules.
