😺 What the Oscars bring to startups?

I collected the opinions of Golden Kitty Awards winners at Product Hunt at different times. 🧨 US O1 Talent Visa. A gold-plated cat statuette helped a startup get a talent visa, and the founder of Product Hunt personally assisted in getting one. 🧨The startup closed the seed round right after receiving the Golden Kitty Awards in January, and by the end of the summer raised a Series A. The startup founder added his new achievement to the presentation, and investors started checking user comments on PH right at the pitching session. In the end, the stars aligned.  🧨Have gained about a thousand app installs in total after each stage of the launch on PH, that is, after fighting for the product of the day, the week, and finally the year (that's Golden Kitty).  🧨Updated cat-eared figurine to stand on your shelf and flaunt as a badge on the PH site. Can this be considered a plus?  What pros and cons do you see?
