What's a startup trend that you secretly think is overrated?

I will go first.

Here are five trends that I think are overrated, based on watching hundreds of startups build, scale, and sometimes fail.

1. AI replacing all customer support.

The hype says AI agents will handle 90% of tickets. The reality is different.

When Does a Product Become Too Complex to Understand?

There s a point where products stop being fully understandable.

Too many features
Too many dependencies
Too much history

And decisions start getting made with partial context.

Building photo consent infrastructure for organizations

Hi everyone,

I m Eva, founder of MyFaceGuard.

I m building a tool that helps organizations collect, manage, and track photo consent before publishing images in corporate communication channels, websites, social media, event galleries, or internal materials.

You're a product builder. Should you also be a writer?

You're building a product.
Your focus is code, features, user experience.
Not meta descriptions.
Not FAQ schema.
Not internal linking.

But content still needs to get done. Docs, landing pages, blog posts, metadata. And if you ignore it, nobody finds your product.

So you have a choice. Spend hours on content yourself. Hire someone who doesn't understand your product. Or let an OS handle it.

We're building ROSE ( Rankfender Fullstack Optimization Engine ) as a Git based library. An SDK you install directly into your repo. It runs on every commit. Checks your metadata. Validates your heading structure. Suggests internal links. Even auto fixes the small stuff.

What are your favorite business and startup podcasts?

I genuinely love listening to podcasts. It's one of the best ways I've found to stay on top of new trends, pick up strategies I wouldn't have discovered otherwise, and come across founders and operators I'd never stumble on through regular reading.

So I'm always on the lookout for new ones worth adding to the rotation.

Shout out your favorite new product you absolutely love using (that’s not yours)

What s a recent product you ve started using that you absolutely love?

Maybe it solved a real problem, has great UX, or just brings you joy every time you open it. Bonus points if it launched here on Product Hunt.
