COI tag September 2018 edit
Some recent edits appear to be be by a person with a COI according information claimed in the summaries. While some content additions appear generally good faith there is a possibility some content is non-neutral.Djm-leighpark (talk) 05:36, 8 September 2018 (UTC)
Malware? edit
Producthunt looks like malware to me. It installed itself (as a Chrome extension perhaps) without my consent, and I cannot delete it. They say I can delete my account, but I have to give them permission to my Google account first. DaveCW (talk) 12:54, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

Product Hunt Mafia edit
Multiple members of the Product Hunt team have gone on to start venture capital funds. In August 2017, Product Hunt's founder and CEO Ryan Hoover announced a $3M Angel Fund called The Weekend Fund.[1] In March 2018, Product Hunt's first employee Erik Torenberg announced Village Global, a $100M venture fund backed by Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, Amazon's Jeff Bezos, Microsoft's Bill Gates, Google's Eric Schmidt, LinkedIn's Reid Hoffman, and others.[2] In April 2018, Product Hunt's marketing lead Niv Dror announced Shrug Capital, a $3M venture fund that focuses on consumer investments.[3] In April 2019, Product Hunt's editorial lead Nick Abouzeid joined Shrug Capital as a Partner, the fourth Product Hunt employee to join a venture capital fund.[4]
I've moved the above section to the talk page for further inspection. Promotional, it just doesn't seem to "belong." DavidWestT (talk) 14:13, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
