I have encountered bots on Product Hunt before. I reported them to the support team, and they took care of it quickly.

Curious to learn how do you figure out that you are dealing with a bot?
Hasan Mahmood
Yes, many of them. I just report them and try to focus on engaging with other genuine users.

A few times, yes. I just ignore them.

Ignoring them is another approach I’ve considered.

I think Product hunt already does a very good job by flagging the launches that are being upvoted through bots, so I am not worried about them, the one who should be worried are the hunters who are launching and consdiering to use them, its going to go in the negative side of things.

Encountered some bots on Product Hunt? I once had a bot frenzy that made me feel like I stumbled into a robot disco party! Handled it by reporting them to the Product Hunt team quicker than you can say "Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V."
