congrats on your success this is such a tough feeling, but it's somewhat inevitable as you have a nugget to protect and grow think about this happening with midjourney and gpt-4o image generation coming out right now -- similar feeling on a massive scale My crazy two cents - know it happens - differentiation is a goal, you want to be a monopoly in a niche and you can niche down to carve out your space - your service isn't the full picture, marketing and content become the most important - be faster and more visible to customers 3 mental models market share - take your piece, many players can exist memetic desire - we naturally learn by copying each other, it's our greatest strength and source of eventual competition Helsinki bus theory - everyone starts in their own bus at the station, the longer you stay on the bus the destinations will naturally differentiate and appear https://jamesclear.com/stay-on-the-bus
