I usually upvote a product on Product Hunt if it makes me go "Oh, that's clever!" or "Wow, how did they even think of that?"—kind of like finding hidden treasure in a sea of apps.

I like to watch demo videos and then look at screenshots.
Launching soon!
First thing I do is to visit the website. If it's clear what they're doing from the website, then I scroll and understand briefly, sometimes even signup and try it, and then make a comment and upvote. Sounds like a lengthy process, but it isn't. And otherwise, it feels shallow.
@vertikanigam That sounds like a thoughtful and thorough approach! It's definitely more valuable than leaving a shallow comment without any real engagement.
Launching soon!
@sanja_micic Absolutely. Some might say I'm wasting time though, but I don't think so.
Some products are awesome that I find there.
I would say: relevance, video, screenshots - then head to actually try it out. I do often Upvote based on the first 3 though!
@jade_grimwood That makes a lot of sense! Prioritizing relevance, video, and screenshots before diving in to try the product is a practical approach. Nice method!
Me too Igor! I watch the videos first, then look at the images. If I'm still confused, I'll read the hunter launch copy for the details. I'll vote if I think it's a good product 🙌 the trouble is there are so many amazing products on product hunt!
Check the website, understand the idea and upvote if it looks useful to me, community and world out there.
😅a bit late ,but I check out the details and if it makes me go ooh that's a great idea I upvote
