Automatic Product Launch Pop-Ups in Chrome - Potential Malicious Activity?

Since yesterday, I've noticed a weird experience on my Chrome browser in which a new product launch page is popping up automatically every few seconds!! It is eating my browser's CPU and Memory and crashing.
For nine months, this is the third (different product launches) time I have noticed this behavior, and feels like yet another malicious (DoS, Ethics, Privacy) attempt to mass-market their launch and drive non-organic traffic and traction.
Have you noticed any of these?

Two of my discussions on Product Hunt were removed. And honestly? I’m glad they were.

I support structured, high-value discussions nobody wants forums filled with spam and self-promotion. But here s the issue: understanding what qualifies as valuable.

Product Hunt s updated guidelines push for original, engaging, and non-replicable content. Makes sense. But when posts disappear without clear reasoning, it creates confusion.

  • Where s the line between sharing insights and self-promotion?

  • What defines a post as high-value in this new system?

  • Why not offer feedback instead of outright removals?

Stronger moderation is great if paired with transparency. Instead of guessing what works, clearer guidelines and examples could help everyone create better discussions.
