Why Do Product Hunt Discussions Seem Fake Lately, and Why Has Engagement Dropped?

I came back here after a long time and a lot has changed, mainly the drop of engagement in discussions. Is it just me or does anybody feel the same way? Also I observed changes in the layout and featuring of the products, are there any more major changes recently?

The last couple of days on the top get discussions from people I have never seen before (and they appeared from nowhere – it felt like getting 40 or 60 upvotes in the blink of an eye), they are unmanaged too. Also, the platform is changing the UI. But I personally like this part.

Yes, I've noticed the same thing lately, unfortunately. Plus, there are a lot of 'smart people' now who generate responses with AI in the style of Captain Obvious.

I am new here, and have felt the same on many of the top discussions. Are you post getting much traction? I have zero!

Maybe it is AI generated posts and Users. The same thing is happening on Instagram, Reddit , Twitter and so on. I am building a platform to exactly tacle this issue. If you got the interested there is a link on my bio for the pitch tech presenting the concept of what im planing.

@thothofc That's cool. AI-generated posts are polluting the entire internet. These posts lack emotion and value, and we need tools to filter them out.
