Product Hunt's Ryan Hoover responds to app developer's criticism that called for more transparency about how products get promoted to its front page

Let's continue to build Product Hunt, together  —  Last week was difficult.  —  A Medium article was published, criticizing Product Hunt. Tweets: @stevesi , @stevesi , @daveambrose , @lanewood , @joshdickson40 , @sparkzilla , @joshdickson40 and @brantchoate Tweets: Steven Sinofsky / @stevesi : “Over 50% of the people upvoting and 50% of the total upvotes come from people...”—@rrhoover http://medium.com/... http://twitter.com/... Steven Sinofsky / @stevesi : .@ProductHunt's @rrhoover writes about community and continuing to build the platform together as a community. http://twitter.com/... Dave Ambrose / @daveambrose : when the Internet is frustrated and looks for questions, this is a template on how to respond - classic @ProductHunt http://twitter.com/... Lane Wood / @lanewood : Lots of respect for the @producthunt crew. @rrhoover + @eriktorenberg have integrity not seen from many SF founders. http://medium.com/... Josh Dickson / @joshdickson40 : This response is literally a list of logical fallacies. http://twitter.com/... Mark Devlin / @sparkzilla : @joshdickson40 Woo! After all that criticism, the action is to update the FAQ. Josh Dickson / @joshdickson40 : Original critique hits at editorial process and selections, Hoover talks equality in upvotes. Ridiculous. Brant Choate / @brantchoate : Takes guts and humility to respond to criticism like that - mad props @rrhoover @ProductHunt http://medium.com/...
