[Feature Request] Product Hunt can show full list of upvoters to the makers

I have a feature request -- Can Product Hunt show full list of upvoters to the makers? Product Hunt doesn't show full list of upvoters publicly. Even the makers and hunters don't get to see the full list of upvoters of their own products. However, via API that's possible. Julie Chabin, Head of Product Design at Product Hunt shared a reason for not showing upvotes. Here's what she shared in a public comment on my Reddit community: "Hi there! Julie from Product Hunt. So happy to see this post detailing the changes. You ve got good eyes About point 5: A few years ago, several community members reported receiving emails after they upvoted. We found out bad actors were taking the list of usernames and used external services to find the related email addresses to generate mailing lists. So, to protect community members, we decided not to stop showing the complete list. To be as transparent as possible while limiting the risks, we show an ever-changing list of upvoters based on connections and time. This way, you can still see who s upvoted, but spammers can t steal the info to generate a mailing list. I hope this helps!" Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/GrowthH... I am starting a poll to get Product Hunters opinion. Please vote and share your thoughts in the comments. Thank you.
