Really? How do you know if a profile is fake? 🤔

@lisa_steingold1 you see the interactions here. Go to their profile and see, they’ve got nothing.

Fake profiles to boost product artificially?

Too many. But what sucks is they probably have more opportunities for visibility than I do. Practically every week I'm contacting Product Hunt support to refresh my account because it's shadow banned it for no good reason. It's very annoying and detrimental to my engagement on this site. Meanwhile I see commenters with obvious ChatGPT responses and it's super annoying.

Yeah and there a companies using those accounts to "guarantee" you position when you launch. But it's not just here it's everywhere :)

It's hard to say for sure. I think PH is working on better verification methods to combat this issue and maintain the community's integrity.

@moon10 It’s difficult to do it with system. But it is difficult otherwise too

I have noticed some too. It's a bit frustrating but reporting them helps keep things cleaner.

I’ve noticed that as well. Flagging them is the way to go.

prolly they use the fake accounts to boost up upvotes on business. It's like monetizing on upvotes. I had me asked once for 300usd. lol. It's all about creating a good community here.

I'm a real account, don't really know how to prove it... Here's a fun emoji to maybe relieve some suspicion. 🫥

It's like playing a game of whack-a-mole with those fake profiles here - they seem to pop up everywhere! Have you tried outsmarting them with some clever sleuthing skills yet?
