Your thoughts on paid and fake upvotes on PH?

Hi hunters, We just launched Formsly public beta a couple of days ago on PH. Last time we launched the waiting list we have succeed at getting the #3 product of the day. with this latest major launch, we barely crossed #18, even though we had done the exact same thing we did with the previous launch, also with other products that we launched before on PH which we always managed to be among the top 10 at least. We are noticing a lot of high-ranked products are getting fake and paid upvotes, your thoughts on this please? Kind of missing the days when ratings on PH were more authentic and accurate.
