Which personalities would spice up this platform?
I found faces of famous personalities on Product Hunt.
For example,
or Mark Cuban
Tho, they are not very active, it came to my mind:
Who would you like to see here and maybe ask them something in an AMA?
Replies
Mark Cuban!

@ajinsunny TBH, he is more active on Bluesky.
@busmark_w_nika I see, I don't have bluesky. I should make an account I guess.

At least, you can try the platform :)
@busmark_w_nika I just made an account. What's your handle? I can connect there as well.

I think snoop do double g actually launched an album on PH! https://techcrunch.com/2015/05/12/product-hunt-moves-beyond-tech-with-the-launch-of-snoop-doggs-new-bushalbum/
I hadn't actually heard about that though. Is there any funny background story on this, @rrhoover ?
Product Hunt
@catt_marroll haha, yeah. I met Snoop in the EARLY days, before Product Hunt was a company. The short version: SV Angel invited me to "pitch" him and his team over dinner with 5 hours of notice. At the time I wasn't raising and had never formally pitched. But ofc I wasn't going to skip an opportunity to break bread with Snoop.
Fast forward, we did a few fun things with him and his team in those early years. :)
Product Hunt
@catt_marroll @rrhoover What a story! Sounds like wild times :)
Product Hunt
@catt_marroll @rrhoover Not as big as Snoop but I remember in the early days when I first started, I got an email from a certain Jonas brother to help with a launch. That was pretty wild to me
Purposeful Poop
@rrhoover @aaronoleary it's only a matter of time before Bonobo is vibe coding during a boiler room set and launching as an encore :)

If they were real, that had to be cool. I had a comment from Robert Pattinson, but unfortunately, this one was not real :D https://www.linkedin.com/posts/nika-kotlarikova_when-robert-pattinson-tries-to-be-incognito-activity-7214538856623149057-9ULM/

@rrhoover @catt_marroll Those were early days. I am pretty sure that now, the PH would blow with his launch :D :)
Streak Hunter
SnoopDogg is here? That's wild
minimalist phone: creating folders
@denisss yep, but he is not active. But honestly, I do not know when he would have time for posting :D
App Finder
We also have Sam Altman here and Sundar Pichai, but the have more important things to to probably...

Sam Altman Sundar Pichai @konrad_sx Sam Altman was quite active here (according to Kitty points). :D
App Finder
@busmark_w_nika he hunted some products some years ago, other than that there's nothing to see on his profile, I guess one gets points also for successful launches
minimalist phone: creating folders
@konrad_sx Now, he is too busy to be here :)
@konrad_sx @busmark_w_nika Isn't ChatGPT doing all his work, he should be free. Haha..
A great question Nika.
Snoop is the OG đž First time I heard about PH was something related to Snoop, actually. Way back when.

@sentry_co When was it? :D
Around the beginning of producthunt so probably around 2016. The PH influencers back then were funny. There was this one guy. Who just said: "Dope đŹ" on every post đ
minimalist phone: creating folders
@sentry_co LOL, that's silly :D
Grimo
MKBHD for sure.
Ask him to review all those top-ranking products.
minimalist phone: creating folders
@stainlu what would you ask him?
Grimo
"the worst product I've tried"
minimalist phone: creating folders
@stainlu I would be curious about the answer :D But it could totally damage the brand of the product :D
Graphify
We also have @naval here, with quite some points âđŒ

@naval @hussein_r I forgot on him sorry :D
You should also look at Asians, for at least once :-)
A few to mention
Ashwin Mittal
Mahesh Kumar
Pankaj Rai
Prashanth Kaddi
Rajan Sethuraman
Sayandeb Banerjee

Thank you! :) I have never heard about them. Can you link their names to their Wikipedia or accounts? Because e.g. under "Mahesh Kumar" I have found 3 different people with such a good following :D And I am not sure which one is that one you referred to :D
minimalist phone: creating folders
Which are interesting to you? :)
WOV
On second thought, how about Ryan Reynolds? He is successful businessman, got more ideas as well, and will def. keep the platform engaged and entertained sometimes with quirky ideas or even products!
minimalist phone: creating folders
@indu_thangamuthu Good you mentioned him. I know he has LinkedIn but do not know how much time he has for another platform :D Anyway, I would like to contribute something in the future (maybe article) about these "stars" and their presence on professional social media :)
WOV
I have seen @elon_musk12
Speaking of famous personalities, it also gives me the thought... how to know whether it's real or spam / fake account in PH?
minimalist phone: creating folders
@elon_musk12 @indu_thangamuthu This will be fake. If he was real, he would have more followers.
Shadow
Where is the option for Sam Altman?!?
minimalist phone: creating folders
@ashley_from_shadow He is already on this platform! :D
đ Would love to see MrBeast on here. Curious how heâd approach launching a tech product.
minimalist phone: creating folders
The same here! :)
