New on Product Hunt — Profile Verification (Green Tick)

Product Hunt is introducing verified profiles with a green tick to enhance authenticity and trust in the community.
This feature is currently in beta and being tested with a select group of users, but it will roll out to everyone in early 2025.
Will verified accounts have more weight on their upvotes? It's unclear if the green tick will influence how much impact a user's upvotes have on rankings.
What’s the criteria for getting verified? No official announcement yet, but it might include phone number verification, social media links, or some other form of identity confirmation.
This move could make Product Hunt an even more reliable and transparent platform for makers, hunters, and enthusiasts alike.
What do you think? Let me know in the comments. :)
P.S. Interesting products on the leaderboard today:
Revv Invest
Trickle
Flipboard Surf
Gemini Code Assist

@juliomedina Hopefully everyone will get it soon in early 2025. :)
Awesome! It will definitely be a great help.

It could definitely build a trust. With so many AI-generated comments, I would be also up with ID card identification.
@busmark_w_nika Haha, yes. I have seen many AI comments too. Hopefully, the verification will help us differentiate to an extent. :)

@rohanrecommends My opinion is that these "checks" should be done periodically because when one decides to implement AI after verification, this system can be cheated soon.
@busmark_w_nika I think it'll be beneficial as well. @rohanrecommends just don't use the same tool LinkedIn uses (they completely revoked the verification possibility for some countries)
I don't know, but if you let me beta test it, I can give some review and feedback.
Would like to have one!!
Sounds interesting! Definitely looking forward to seeing how PH develops in the future.
@felix_sattler Indeed, interesting. I hope your launch preparations are coming along well. :)
@rohanrecommends yes, thank you once again for that feedback you gave me back then. We adjusted our positioning and will launch by beginning next year :) More than happy to have you on board then
Launching soon!
This will make the platform appear more reliable and give users more peace of mind. Great upgrade!
The Profile Verification (Green Tick) feature on Product Hunt is a great addition! It helps build trust and credibility, ensuring users can easily identify authentic profiles and creators. A valuable tool for both entrepreneurs and the community!
How to get it?
Need the green tick and I need it now! Haha
@sahil_seth Soon! Haha :D
I am your first follower on PH. :)
