> isn't pressed to make money At $0 MRR, that's exactly what they are. This is not a dig but the (current) reality of community sites. At Stripe, they were probably being paid as marketers, not engineering managers. (No team, no direct reports.) One problem is that indie hackers, by self selection, are not typically investable. If you're not looking to raise, the forum you spend your time on can't, say, buy equity in you or funnel you toward a batch-based accelerator program. Maybe the Allens can do micro-investments, but again you have a selection problem at play. They could choose advertising and decide to grow the base. Then they start competing with outlets like The Hustle, My First Million and Morning Brew. The group of people who want to be indie hackers is much smaller than the group who enjoy “business news” (Morning Brew) or business entertainment (My First Million). Whatever the Allens decide, I hope they succeed.
