We launched today and surprised to see number of launches coming n top with -huge number of upvotes with very little engagement - huge number of comments from people who are not engaged in PH community, red balloons and 0 followers accounts. PH team is looking into this but it should be automated. Thoughts?

That's for sure. You'll find plenty of people mentioning/complaining about this on Twitter. There are even special paid services for that. Quite a shame, to be honest!
