What I find sad about this "growth hacking" phenomenon is how the focus is on a single specific tactic, as if that is the key to all growth-related problems. On top of that, growth hacking is used a vehicle for self-promotion, as if one person is responsible for success. It's honestly a team effort, and to pretend like it's one person is a shame. Lastly, isn't "growth" for the sake of growth a vanity metric? Personally, I'd want someone who knows how to retain users and prevent churn over someone who spams his way to millions of users. Just my thoughts.
