@hello_code_ Well John i think most builders and founders should divert their efforts from creating an internet business and instead serve local markets.
@LukasCantCode it depends on how you're trying to get users. To be honest mate, i'd give up on trying to get users via the internet. The attention economy is too energy draining. And it's not for everyone. You can still have a successful app trhough other means.
@ImNotAV1rus Mate I think you should change your focus and not try compete in the attention economy where success is really based on attention than how good your product is.
@bscholl Blake to what extent would you say your delay in progress has been a result of politicians impeding your work? Like regulations and all. As well as just dumb policy.
@dieworkwear yeah like there is a formality to it. I dressed in uniform as a kid and have since developed some sort of reverence for the tie. i just wouldn't casually wear it outside of the scenarios you described.
If the answer to every builder is:
"Become a full-time creator. Post 5 times a day. Farm engagement. Build in public."
Then we haven't democratised entrepreneurship.
We've simply changed the gatekeepers.
The new aristocracy becomes influencers.
That feels fundamentally wrong
@alpharivelino My gf 22 and i'm 30. And boy is it complex. She's always talking about her opportunity cost that being in a relationship while in her "prime" is sacrificing a lot. And she's right. I have to make her life exciting. So much so her friends want to be in relationships. tough job.
@alpharivelino Do you think it's unreasonable to ask your girlfriend to get off instagram. It's also to save her from herself you know. The constant comparison, seeking validation from likes is a mental health crisis waiting to happen.
