I think he meant the artifact or small thing you ship may be a success. But, for Indiehackers, consider two things: 1. A site devoted to making business will attract lots of wannabees 2. Many successful businesses are too busy to bother with such things, especially if they get no marketing benefit from indiehackers or face risk from competitors knowing their revenue. Indiehackers also misses the vast graveyard of failed businesses that stopped operating and went nowhere, but it is far from an unbiased sample. $20,000 a month for any bootstrapped business with actual expenses (contractors etc) is actually not that much yet it puts you near the top of the leaderboard.
