I've been building and selling B2B for most of my career and it seems things have changed quite a bit when it comes to launching a consumer product online.

Observations:

1. Product Hunt is dead. Everybody is selling something, and you get spammed instantly.

2. Show HN seems unbalanced. I've tried a few threads and the only traction I saw was getting emails (10-20 per day) from other startups, including YC startups, all following the same template which is incredible "Hey saw your Show HN, cool product. My startup does X and can help you with Y". I checked the numbers, Show HN is getting 200 submissions a day.

What is everyone doing these days to get traction ?
