Launched TrafficScout today… immediately buried with 0 upvotes. Anyone else been here?

We launched TrafficScout today, our Reddit growth AI Agents and the post flatlined the moment it went live. Zero upvotes. No visibility. No traction. It was like watching a plane take off with no fuel.

I knew Product Hunt was competitive, but I didn’t expect to get buried that fast. It felt like our post never even reached the runway. I’m curious how many others have experienced this with an early-stage launch.

A few things I’m wondering:

• Is this normal for new builders?

• Does PH still surface new products organically anymore, or is community momentum everything?

• What did you change on your second launch that actually moved the needle?

Happy to hear hard truths or strategy. And if you’ve gone through this before and still found a way to build momentum afterward, I’d love to hear that story too.

Building in public isn’t always pretty. Today was one of those humbling days.
