The founder's ultimate task is actually simple: create a product of sufficient quality so that the right people will find you on their own. Don't worry about how algorithms might trick you or how the platform limits traffic—truly good things won't be buried. Instead of spending energy figuring out how to cater to recommendation mechanisms, focus that energy on the product itself. When your product is strong enough and signals are clear enough, those who truly need it will instinctively discover you. This is the logic that builders should adhere to.

tbh this feels like it's missing the governance layer tho... actually, let me break this down — if you examine the data from successful protocol launches, the ones that scaled had deliberate incentive structures, not just "build it and they come." historically speaking, signal amplification requires tokenomics framework alignment. just saying

Well said, but the reality is that most people can't do it. They are all thinking about how to ride the hype and cut the leeks. How many truly focus on developing products?

Well said, but the reality is that most people can't do it. Everyone knows they need to develop a good product, but how many can truly withstand the initial cold start? It still comes down to a bit of luck.

Well said, but I think many people can't really listen. They're still busy figuring out how to compete for traffic every day.

That's true, but there are very few who can really do it these days. Most are still just figuring out how to ride the trend.

There's nothing wrong with that, but the reality is that most people can't do it. Truly good products have long been buried among junk information.

Well said, but reality often works the other way around. I've seen too many product guys whose products are truly hardcore, yet they still get drowned in the feed. Algorithms are not just a gimmick; they are the rules of the game.
