this is exactly what happens… we miss news, we miss opportunities… people go elsewhere 

soon this bleeds into development.. then we lose devs due to lack of user growth 

then we have a brain drain & lose our critics & thinkers as engagement dwindles 

i have suggested ways to grow users…practical & pragmatic solutions… as has many of us 

there is nothing else we can do… they don’t want to listen to their users

if daus do not growth over the next 3-4 months, if there is no UA, no marketing, no eco fund, no massive grant program, no affiliate program, no nothing… the future looks bleak 

we all literally all betting that one app or one token goes viral… that it breaks out & brings in new users… that is our bull case…

with no help from the purple app, it all rests in the hands of a dozen or so cracked devs who are building here simply because of their ideological beliefs 

lord knows these devs are not getting enough recognition… carrying a unicorn on their back

FC culture used to be wildly optimistic, and lately everyone I’ve talked to has echoed this sentiment, even the earliest OGs

I don’t know what the solution is but I don’t blame anyone who spends less time here or leaves altogether, the opportunity cost is real
