Does a solo maker's first launch ever truly compete with a funded team's launch on the same day?

Scrolling through today's launches, noticed a solo dev with under 500 followers sitting right next to a product backed by a known team with thousands of followers ready to vote within the first hour. Same leaderboard, very different starting lines.

Makes me wonder if Product Hunt's ranking genuinely rewards the product, or mostly rewards whoever can mobilize the most people fastest on launch day. A great solo product without a network behind it seems to need a lot more luck, timing, or a lucky external traffic source like YouTube or Reddit picking it up.

how others think about this. Should newer makers avoid launching against bigger funded teams if possible, or does timing not really matter since quality eventually finds its audience anyway?
