What type of discussions do you prefer on the Product Hunt most?

I want to create the right ratio of what is wanted. I'm not saying I'll serve it all the time, but I'm curious what your favourite is. Explanatory notes: Long format – discussing deep topics in essays, writing a long list. Short format – breaking down the deep topic into fewer "bullets" (used fewer characters in the article). Polls – you just vote for one of the options, like the example in this post. "Deep" questions – asking questions related to the industry. It can be difficult topics, where together we come up with the problem and solutions, and exchange experiences. "Rest" questions – easy, fun topic, questions like "Are you a cat person or a dog person?"

I love discussions that dive deep into innovative marketing strategies and business growth hacks. They provide actionable insights and fresh ideas that I can apply to my own projects.

For me it will be short format covering serious topics. I just like to read short, concise pieces of text. That doesn't mean that I don't appreciate other types of discussions :)

Rest questions on PH feels like noise at best. Even for a question I prefer to get some insights. Like from this pool I get tips on posting for PH discussions. Best articles I read were "Learnings" on building great product + space to get opinions form community on topic.

Bulleted points on very specific topics can really help, without parsing long conversational topics.

Good question. I personally like questions that really give someone something!! don't for how long we're gonna see questions like, "What are you doing this weekend? or Twitter or LinkedIn? Coffee or Tea?" There are lots of questions like these that I find useless.

I prefer the short format, but I have a question. Very strong question that I want to ask you if you can answer me this question I’m ready to help you out for something.

I voted for short format, but I also like polls to see a general opinion about something quickly. For example, a poll I posted asked if people prefer monthly or annual paid subscriptions for SaaS products. Not only was I able to see what people preferred, but they asked clarifying questions and generously gave their reasons in their replies. Btw, monthly won by a landslide.

Hey Nika and everyone! For me, it’s a mix that keeps things engaging. I love: Deep Questions: These are fantastic for sharing insights and learning from others' experiences. It’s where I get the most value. Short Format Discussions: Quick, to-the-point conversations are great for busy days and help keep the community active. Polls: These are fun and easy to participate in, plus they provide instant feedback on various topics. Overall, a balanced mix of deep, meaningful discussions and light, fun questions would be ideal. It keeps the community vibrant and informative!

I do create poll on serious questions. For example "quantity vs quality". Everytime I arrange questions like this I eliminate the least votes based on the minds of the innovative people here on PH, Apply and execute it immediately.

@busmark_w_nika it is true. guess what? the poll that won is "quantity" in PH. It has majority of reasons over quality but yeah. simple explanation is the country like China. they won the "quantity" game over consumer based products. Nevertheless both are excellent if you can execute it together.
