I really wish Ryan Hoover would take back the integrity of Product Hunt. It's such an amazing product with such currently painful execution, assumingly in the name of site traffic traded for ad dollars.

I truly think that the conversion rate for advertisers on PH would go UP if the quality of the site (moderated posts, comments, bot traffic) did the same.

I'm consistently baffled by the rarity of a product owner improving their bottom line by simply improving their users' experience.

I left the site even before Ryan left, but yeah, he was the best person to steward it at forward. It’s been junk for a very long time.
