I am a counter example of that take. As a French citizen, I have spent a decade building an open alternative Dropbox [1] that is I believe miles ahead of even Dropbox itself. In practice, France represents about 1% of the customer base. I&#

When bootstrapping something, marketing is about finding distribution channels that work for you. Looks like you never found such distribution channels, learn and keep grinding on that, organic and tik tok dancing is not the only game in to

Anthropic are masters in marketing to make people think they’re here to do good. A few weeks ago, they got great visibility on HN promising Claude Max 20x accounts to people who are active in open source repositories with at least 5k stars
