10 hours of invisibility... and we finally came up #7 in Featured 🔥

Here is the story: we began our launch actively, engaging the entire community we could reach before. Everything was progressing well until 4 hours had passed. A Featured Section appeared, but we were not included. It was evident that, with our number of upvotes, we should have been displayed in third place. Six hours passed... then eight hours... Finally, after the ten hours of struggles we appeared in the Featured Section. Throughout this time, we did not cease interacting with the audience. Currently, we find ourselves in seventh place. We lost a significant opportunity by being invisible for 10 straight hours, so we kindly ask for your opinion and feedback about our product, which has a mission to disrupt a tech hiring globally. https://www.producthunt.com/posts/huntly-2?r=h

The game is changing.

@dzaitzow Old game: Upvotes. New game: Organic upvotes + other unknown factors (possibly the PH team is manually curating)

@sentry_co have they made any announcements about this?

Really weird! Has anyone from PH given you insight into why this took place or what sparked this "shadow ban" for X hours?

Bohdan, hello! Supported you. It sounds really bad. Have you realised why it happened? I noticed that there were other products with the same problem
