   Statistics* show that conversions go up when users are offered a social alternative. * I don't know where these stats are, or what the figures actually are. People just keep telling me this over and over again.

    If you knew this, and felt like you are at such a disadvantage (as evident by your tone), why are you surprised that it is not doing well? Let this one go. Be more innovative on your next project.

    The people who are most upset about the single founder rule are the people who were rejected by YC because they couldn't find a co-founder.
