If you vote for a product, do you leave a comment? Or not always?

Question

I always leave a comment if I vote for a product.

Daniel Zaitzow · Accepted Answer

I try to but I think it depends on the volume of work I've got in a given day. If someone has sent me a message on LinkedIn I typically make a point to have a more curated message.

Answer

I would say definitely leave a comment. It does not have to be long unless you truly love the product and you want to express it. Congratulations and good Luck are very effective as well

@dzaitzow yeah I’m the same, if they reach out to be in a genuine kind of way, I’m happy to help where possible!!

Not always, only if I really like the product!

Answer

Not always

Nico Spijker · Answer

Usually yes. Lately I'm trying to have all comments add to the conversation though. Ask for roadmaps, origin stories, more details etc.

Alex Egorov · Answer

Always leave a comment even with the word ‘Congratulations’

Carol Moh · Answer

I usually like to leave a useful comment if I vote for a product. One of the things I have noted from people who have launched is that they really value the feedback they receive. Also, PH values longer comments more than short comments so I try to ensure that not only my vote but my comment counts.

@slimmy82 I also just shot over a connection request on LinkedIn - Happy to offer a hand with anything you've got in the pipeline!!

Yannick · Answer

I leave a comment when I have something to say, like a suggestion or if the product blew my mind.
