Sunny, it's unfortunate but not uncommon; reciprocity can sometimes be a one-way street, especially in large communities. My approach is to continue supporting others regardless, as the right connections will reciprocate when it truly matters.
I connected on Linkedin with one of those people and promptly unfollowed as soon as I realized what he was trying to do. Other people I connected to were really helpful and I'm glad we connected.
@sunny_sogra I see there's an issue; the link provided in the reply isn't functioning. I've checked out your product, "AI Community Widget," and I've supported it.
It's impressive that you're currently ranking at #7.
It's definitely a two-way street, Sunny. I've noticed that genuine engagement tends to build more reliable connections, who are there to support when you reach out.
Reciprocity is certainly key in building a strong community on platforms like Product Hunt; however, it's not uncommon to encounter one-sided interactions. My approach is to continue offering support where I can, while nurturing relationships with those who demonstrate mutual engagement and support.
Let me know about your launch, I'll be sure to familiarize myself with your product. I don't guarantee 100% support, only if I like your product. That's fair. I may also not see a post on LinkedIn - this happens less often. And yes, I usually come across great tools here, many of which I use. That's why I show up here so often )
It's true that I've experienced this, and to be completely honest, I want to criticise a few launches and tell people not to give them the upvotes 🤧
It seems like a one-way street sometimes. Building a genuine community should be about mutual support and growth. Let's aim for more collaboration and less ghosting.
