Are big accounts on PH paid for hunting?

Question

I just saw someone volunteer to hunt for free, but I'm wondering if big accounts are charging or making some deals for hunting products.

Hunting a product is absolutely free of cost and you should not pay to hunters to hunt your product. It’s against Product Hunt's guidelines.

@abbas143official Yes indeed, but people will try to charge you money for it

Some hunters do take payment via "other" routes but if a hunter asks you money to hunt, that's a red flag and you need to find someone who is happy to hunt for free because they used your product and genuinely loved it.

Product hunt rules require the hunting to be free. You can however be charged for other consulting services, like help with your launch copy or promotion on social media.

However, they often enjoy a symbiotic relationship with the platform and the startups they feature.
