Launch-strategy analyses converge on Product Hunt being net-negative for many indie makers now, with visibility dictated by a 24-hour voting window and existing social capital, not product quality. The playbook fragmented across BetaList, Uneed, Peerlist, Fazier, Dev Hunt, HN, and Reddit. For solo builders shipping AI-native replacements, build capability is no longer the constraint. Distribution is. I've felt this one personally. Shipping is the easy 20% now.
