Yes. I think it has the same problem as IndieHackers (which stripe also invested in / acquired), where it’s mostly for people who don’t have anything going for them. If you already know what you need to do it’s a waste of your attention. It’s becomes social media for founders.
And anything social will promote what is popular or trendy to the tribe, and some of the actual better businesses are neglected because they aren’t “interesting”.
This brings the quality of the whole experience down since the best contributors are absent because they are building a company.
i personally would rather just get funding and take advantage of investor connections via introductions, and maybe occasional strategy advice. I don’t want the extra work. I currently have a side business making over 70k/mo in revenue and don’t have time to do anything extra. (Yes, side project, not solo)
- dillonmckay 7y agoIs your side business a B2B SaaS?
- alexcnwy 7y agoI sort of agree but Indiehackers does have loads of useful content especially the interviews with successful bootstrapped founders (who I agree aren’t really on the forums much)
- devmunchies 7y agoYeah I agree. I go on IH several times a week out of habit. The podcast is solid.
