How does success in product hunt relate to success with a product?
To what extent do "product-loving enthusiasts" overlap with people who will buy your product?
I get the impression that that person (the author) is concerned with self-esteem and upvotes are the currency of that.
On the other hand, to make a sustainable business where you can deliver the product to people you will concern yourself with cash as a currency and the discussion is going to concern an entirely different constellation of objects.
Cocaine bypasses the motivational systems in your mind by targeting a population of 20,000 or so neurons in the brain. The "learning" that it gives you is that cocaine makes you feel you increased your utility function. If you're a really good student you'll understand what happened and learn "don't do cocaine."
