PH strikes me as a vanity metric. Does it really get you noticed that much?

PH is a tautology: in order to get noticed on PH, you need to be noticed by an insider beforehand, which therefore makes the benefit minimal.

The benefit of Reddit/HN is that there's a much higher probability of content that would otherwise not be noticed become viral.

the community discussions and support might be a bigger deal than the signups. like HN.
