As a consumer, you want startups to build stuff up front. That way you can immediately tell if they executed correctly and you want to spend money.
Startups though don’t want to build shit. They want to pass on the risk of a failed product to the consumer. They’ll get consumers hopes up and then say “whoops, not enough people wanted this so we’re not building it too bad”
This is also why even if you do build something people might not even use it until you reach a certain level of success because consumers don’t want to invest time and money into some product that can disappear overnight.
- volkk 6y agohonestly, i've stopped paying attention to products that startups fake launch. i'm sure im not the only one and also not the only one that's worked in the sphere and realizes just how poorly built/thought out everything is. moviepass is a prime example. your sign up pages that lead to nothing/nowhere because you got demotivated or too lazy or didn't find funding or the other plethora of reasons are exactly why i ignore them all and close out of the tab. your "secretive" coming soon pages are stuck in 2013. if this is a product that is serious/legitimate, then i'm sure i'll hear about it through friends, HN or TC or something. i'm starting to think that the "startup" field is mostly populated by people who do it just to put "CEO/Founder" in their linkedin bio.
