Crossed 2400 followers on Product Hunt. Is follower count a vanity metric?

Follow count isnt a vanity metric IF you're doing product launches or hunting for projects . It helps with the visibility

Congrat! When you hunt a product, followers get notified!

Followers do have value: your followers get notifications for each question you post and each product you hunt.

Congratulations on hitting the 2400 followers milestone, Olena! While follower count can be seen as a vanity metric, it also reflects growing visibility and potential influence in the Product Hunt community.

oh woooow! that's huuuge 💪🥳

That's awesome! Congrats! That's like a small village following you now :) Follower count isn't pure vanity, but I think quality of followers matters more than quantity any day! How long did it take you to achieve this?

Congrats Olena!

Congrats Olena! Keep rocking!

Congratulations on reaching 2400 followers!

This is a super good result, why not be happy? :)

Well done Olena! I don’t think that it’s vain at all. It’s encouraging to keep doing what you’re doing. As long as those followers engage with your content and aren’t just a number.

Congrats Olena! PH followers is not vanity at all. On the contrary, it's over powered. With no followers, everything one does on Product Hunt becomes significantly harder. If you see the top Discussions, they're mostly dominated by people with 1000+ followers.

Congratulations Olena!

Wow that's a lot, what has made you being so active on Producthunt?

Congrats! might it stand for in terms of authority?

Congrats! I am trying to increase my followers as well.

Great work Olena 👏 I can tell you put in the work and achieved this with staying consistent. awesome job!

Congratulations, it's a big number! 🔥🔥🔥 I'd say that for Product Hunt it's not vanity, it's a community you build through hard work, so it's really something to be proud of!

Wow @olenabomko, that's incredible, good job!

Shouldn't be vanity! Because you worked to get it till here. Worked hard, right? And this number shows that. Upvotes, comments etc are a bigger way to assess, but no number is less important.
