This is literally a guide on how to manipulate upvotes, and you're surprised that it didn't work.

That's just more evidence on the current state and influence of Product Hunt.

Can you elaborate on the word "manipulate"? In my opinion all we did is let our beta users know that we are on PH that day. The whole article is about how PH block products from going infront of new audiences
