Dan is only rude to people he doesn’t respect, which is most people. 

i already regret engaging with this, but want to give some building in public perspective

- building in public is hard
- for every 100 people giving you feedback, max 4 know what they are talking about and you’re lucky if 1 has actually a good idea
- your metrics are public so even the 96 clueless people feel like they are right if numbers go down
- for every 100 people giving you feedback you have another 100 people shitting on you for trying to build something new
- and there is probably 10 people in your dms fighting for the scraps of the attention
- and all of them think "listening to feedback" means "adding their idea TODAY"

on top of that people judge you for your financial situation, previous achievements etc

as a founder you have 3 ways out of this:
- stfu and start interacting with your users less
- have your pr team double check everything you write
- continue being yourself and post whatever you have on your mind

only one option is right, even though it may lead to some hurt feelings
