They get upvotes, stars, good feedback

These are not customers.

They are not even users.

Voting and staring and writing comments are easier than using a product.

And posting on product hunt is easier than finding actual customers.

Much much much easier.

That's the attraction of product hunt. for hunters it's info-tainment.

And for people with products, throwing something up on product hung is much much much easier than selling. Good luck.
