Would it be a good idea for Product Hunt to have a 'TikTok' feature?
by•
I feel like it would be pretty awesome to have a short video scrolling feature to discover the products that maybe could not make it to the top but have so much value.
Then even if your launch flopped you can redeem yourself by appearing in the feed of others.
Could be a good way to discover products.

I get the intention, but this feels like it could steer Product Hunt in the wrong direction.
The whole point of PH is thoughtful discovery and discussion—not endless scrolling through bite-sized, attention-grabbing clips. A TikTok-style feed might reward flashy content over substance, and honestly, not every good product can (or should) be explained in 30 seconds.
It could also dilute the value of a proper launch. If you can just post a quick video later for redemption, does the launch even matter anymore? Feels more like chasing trends than improving the core experience.
