In 2016, Product Hunt almost died.

Here's what happened and what I learned. Hope it's useful for other founders:

It's crazy that meetup's business model is helping people sell zoom meetings. I know IRL still happens but it's such a small fraction of it now. Also, lots of meetups are thinly disguised to merely collect e-mails.

9) $NVDA CEO Huang has walked alongside Megaspeed at every step, and seems to have a close relationship with Megaspeed's Alice Huang. They partied together in June 2024 - same month as the Apex/Alibaba pledge, then dined together in May 2025 - just after U.S. trade restrictions.

THE IRS JUST RELEASED THE NEW 2027 🇺🇸 TAX BRACKETS. HERE'S HOW THEY WORK IN PLAIN ENGLISH

The US uses marginal tax brackets. Your income gets split into layers, and each layer is taxed at its own rate. Moving into a higher bracket only raises the rate on the dollars above that cutoff, never on everything you earn. Every bracket also got a little bigger this year to keep up with inflation.

Step 1: Take what you earn and subtract the standard deduction. That part isn't taxed at all.
- Single: $16,600
- Married: $33,200

Step 2: Whatever's left gets taxed in layers.

Single filers:
- 10% on your first $12,800
- 12% on income up to $52,025
- 22% up to $109,125
- 24% up to $208,325
- 32% up to $264,550
- 35% up to $661,375
- 37% on anything above that

Married filers:
- 10% on your first $25,600
- 12% on income up to $104,050
- 22% up to $218,250
- 24% up to $416,650
- 32% up to $529,100
- 35% up to $793,650
- 37% on anything above that

LETS GO THROUGH 6 SEPARATE EXAMPLES

Example 1: Single, earning $76,600 (taxed on $60,000)
- 10% on $12,800 = $1,280
- 12% on $39,225 = $4,707
- 22% on $7,975 = $1,755
Total: about $7,742, or 10.1% of income

Example 2: Single, earning $450,000 (taxed on $433,400)
- 10% on $12,800 = $1,280
- 12% on $39,225 = $4,707
- 22% on $57,100 = $12,562
- 24% on $99,200 = $23,808
- 32% on $56,225 = $17,992
- 35% on $168,850 = $59,098
Total: about $119,447, or 26.5% of income

Example 3: Married, earning $80,000 (taxed on $46,800)
- 10% on $25,600 = $2,560
- 12% on $21,200 = $2,544
Total: about $5,104, or 6.4% of income

Example 4: Married, earning $350,000 (taxed on $316,800)
- 10% on $25,600 = $2,560
- 12% on $78,450 = $9,414
- 22% on $114,200 = $25,124
- 24% on $98,550 = $23,652
Total: about $60,750, or 17.4% of income

Example 5: Married, earning $1,200,000 (taxed on $1,166,800)
- 10% on $25,600 = $2,560
- 12% on $78,450 = $9,414
- 22% on $114,200 = $25,124
- 24% on $198,400 = $47,616
- 32% on $112,450 = $35,984
- 35% on $264,550 = $92,593
- 37% on $373,150 = $138,066
Total: about $351,357, or 29.3% of income

Example 6: Single, earning $1,200,000 (taxed on $1,183,400)
- 10% on $12,800 = $1,280
- 12% on $39,225 = $4,707
- 22% on $57,100 = $12,562
- 24% on $99,200 = $23,808
- 32% on $56,225 = $17,992
- 35% on $396,825 = $138,889
- 37% on $522,025 = $193,149
Total: about $392,387, or 32.7% of income

Same $1.2M income, different results: a single person pays about $41,030 more than a married couple, because the married brackets are wider.

If you don't have a personal agent filtering out the slop, you will drown.
If you don't have a personal agent running your cyberdefense, you will be hacked.
This is the new divide. Choose open or closed, choose the company you like best, but choose soon.

They do this to benefit, seriously, everyone.

@fabinrasheed @AskAaronLee This is the right answer. But if you require accessible via DNS, I'd do a search for the domain with the furthest expiration date.
