Disagreed. Social proof is a HUGE signal, even if it's "fake".
> It comes off as disingenuous.
And if the product is valuable to you AND it has logos, I can guarantee you will still use it. This feels like the typical developer trope here of "ads don't work on me".
The reality is that even if products (like Posthog) have developers as users, there is usually someone paying for it that's not the developer. So while you might not like logos, the person opening the wallet usually does.

Totally agreed (albeit this isn't mutually exclusive)
