What marketing strategies do you consider unethical, and which ones do you consider brilliant?

During today s standup meeting, an idea came up about improving our presence on Reddit (for LLM search visibility and similar reasons).

One of the suggestions was to look for high-karma accounts and possibly buy them to appear more credible when posting and mentioning the product within the posts/comments. It s a tactic, sure, but to me it already feels like it crosses an ethical line. I sometimes worry they can seriously damage a company s reputation.

Hi from Bangalore — building AI search visibility for Indian SMBs

Hi everyone

Ravi here, joining from Bangalore. Founder of Citare we measure how Google AI Overviews, Gemini, ChatGPT, and Claude represent Indian businesses in their answers. Built specifically for Indian agencies and SMBs, which felt like a category gap given most AI visibility tools are built for US enterprise.

Just launched my first AI Zelyx, on Product Hunt.

Today I have launched my first AI product called Zelyx, which acts as a virtual COO, taking care of your operations and taking care of all the boring tasks that you have to do. Zelyx helps you with saving time, money, and energy. - Scanning through all Slack messages, finding which one was intended for you that you haven't missed. - Seeing what's going wrong in Jira or Linear. - Seeing tasks: are they all assigned? Are they not. Everything that an operator does, most of the boring stuff, Zelyx can do and show it to you in front of you, all tools integrated into one place. We also have a search feature where it's like a ChatGPT UI where you can search through your operational tools and take actions via text message. First new users get a 50% discount on subscriptions, and if you want to try Zelyx go for it, I think this will really revolutionize operations, making operations easier for everyone. Operations will be for most B2B with Zelyx. Can be managed by founders too during the early times, early stage, or initial phase of the company, because it just makes everything easier for you to handle. Operations basically act as a virtual COO, showing everything in front of you.

The cost of technical debt: a longitudinal study of 100 startups.

We analyzed the codebases of 100 startups that hit a scalability wall (*)
The goal was not to find the most exotic bug. The goal was to find the most common, expensive, and preventable patterns of failure.

The results were almost identical across 85% of them. Here is what the data says.

The Timeline to Failure

Months 1 6: Everything worked. Fast releases. Happy customers. No time for architecture.
