I do not get the obsession with waitlists over actual engagement. Lots of founders are always touting how their waitlist is so insane. Who cares? That's based on pure narrative. How about people actually using your product and getting value. IMO you shouldn't talk about waitlists, but rather about usage & value.

💯 that was our approach to the @fabric launch: no early access nft, no invites, no allowlist, no dms. accessible to all from day 1. not right for everything (social especially) but probably more than most are willing to admit

Agree. That said, waitlists are also a super easy way to collect a bunch of ideal customer data to jumpstart that marketing flywheel (if you actual ship product). Getting more people to sign up flags potential customers with a high likelihood to convert.

I can see it as a metric worth sharing before you have usage or actual product validation. “Look how many people are interested”. Once the product is launched, waitlist talk turns to usage and retention talk.
