Product owners, why do you buy votes?!?! Bots everywhere, it's not honest!

Today is my launch day. And what I see. There are some products which suddenly get a lot of votes. When I checked the comments, I see that there are a lot of comments from new community members.
Their activity is 0: they register today, they vote and comment only 1 product!!!
I write to ProductHunt support. But I am not sure that it will help.
Very bad, very sad!

The system is never fair.

Yeah, I have observed it myself. Suddenly some products gain lots of upvotes, but I can see that PH support is doing something because at the end of the day they lost a lot of those upvotes.
I think PH do a good job of taking those out!
"Wow, that is so unfair! I think Product Hunt will ban them or not count them at the end of the day!
PH will definitely take them down.
sad thing happening more and more, hopefully product hunt takes care!
i believe tho, genuine products like yours will win eventually :)
Launching soon!
@dfeles I think it is really hard to build a perfect system and hard to quantify for big teams having tons of resources. Still looks like a successful launch in my eyes @anna_kasumova !!
I think that happened with my Launch... In fact I started a similar discussion. People tell me that PH takes care of it (and I have no doubt), but I guess it's really hard to detect "fake" upvotes.
