Please PH Team, give more love to the chance to review, at launch.

Sales are great, feedback can be even better; but reviews (good or bad) mean validation. Being able to get a review only from the product/ page when the launch points only to the post/ page which doesn't feature any link to the product page or "leave a review" section is really penalizing.
I understand that perhaps the reason for "hiding" the chance to review a product at launch day is to discourage spam/canned reviews that may influence the voting system; but that can be easily fixed: make reviewing a product on the post page possible at launch date, but don't show the reviews until the day after.
That way it won't influence the public upvotes at launch, while it allows creators to exploit the launch momentum to collect reviews and validation.
Anybody else frustrated with this?

There is truth in your words. With the next day's show and not taking into account the algorithm of the star review.

@julia_zakharova2 Thanks Julia. The badges are great but limited; feedback is the greatest reward for the rest of the launching pool. I'd take 20th of the day with 10 honest reviews over 5th of the day with no reviews any time.
Yeah, would love to see more spotlight on those early reviews! Launch day hype and the algo are great, but those first real user experiences add so much perspective and value. +1 for surfacing them more prominently, PH Team! 🙌
Yeah I agree, would be great for the PH team to give some extra love to well-written reviews at launch time. Maybe a featured review section or special algorithm boost for thoughtful, in-depth reviews in those critical first hours/days after a product launch. Could help surface quality insights for the community and incentivize people to put in the effort on launch day reviews!
