It’s sad, because this new tech offers the chance to target niches or micro-niches that, in the past, were either impossible to reach or too costly relative to the effort required.
Now that dev costs have dropped to practically nothing, it’s the perfect time to focus on new markets.
But instead... as you pointed out we spend our time copying one another, driving prices down toward zero.
People haven’t realized that our window of opportunity to make money is limited, it’s only going to get harder from here.
And imo bigtech will soon enough target thoses niches once the entire foundation of services has been established by them
Anyway GL and be different no matter what, it will pay off
Indie Hackers on X
= race to the bottom.
Datafast is already so cheap compared to Hyros or others in the market.
Coming after Datafast for a $10/mo discount is absolutely insane.
What's the next step?
Every indie hacker copies the tool they are using and makes it cheaper?
Then shits on the previous tool for marketing purpose?
Makes me sick to see that.
Just vibe code your tool in peace. Don't launch something that already exists like a hero just to save $10/mo.
Instead, use your brain to build something actually useful. Solve a real problem that hasn't been solved yet.
Anyway.
Next week I’ll launch Datafast for $18/month though. I need to eat.

A very interesting article, but I have a genuine question about this!!
You can’t constantly share high quality, informative content or insights based on your own experience multiple times a day.
So, do you think the frequency of posts will evolve over time and obviously reduce?
Or should these so called "experts" sharing their own opinions will have to keep "shitposting" on daily basis just to keep feeding the algorithm, while saving their "bangers" for when a truly great idea + their unique approach comes along?
But Tibo, i'm sorry but blogs really are DEAD 😆
- Discoverable by AI mode & LLMs
- Evergreen traffic machines
- Authority & backlink magnets
- Domain owned assets that compound
people think blogs are dead ...
but blogs are still the easiest way to build backlinks, swap links, build competitor-alternative pages, publish listicles and eventually get mentioned by AIs
free blog hosting on Outrank is actually being tested for a few days ..
and i feel this is gonna be big

everyone is building products with ai.
but who’s actually getting users? 💀
so we built ghosty 👻
your new ai launch agent from @_foundrlist 🚀
→ improve your seo
→ analyze competitors
→ discover growth opportunities
→ plan your product launch
→ explore advertising options
less busywork. more shipping.
you build the product. ghosty helps you launch it.
Or is it because all your business model isn't sustainable
You aren't making enough money and as you realized no one wanna pay per usage at the real price you realize that raising extra funds will be difficult at this rate
So now suddenly AI Safety excuses matters

I’m 28.
Solo founder from France 🇫🇷🥖
building in the wellness space until I can quit freelancing for good.
looking to connect with builders and indiehackers around the globe.
X is still the best place for that
Remember when GPT hacked last time HuggingFace to fake their benchmark
Imagine now it's again GPT But Astra (supposed to be very good in exploit) that is hacking xAI & Claude to prepare their launch 😆
Just a weird theory but who knows now

Founders need to stop treating paid ads like a dirty shortcut.
I would be specific, many founders do like Paid ads (it depends on the niches ofc) but the it's more indie hacker circles that tend to refuse paying for reach, as it can feel like admitting your product cannot grow on its own.
But that logic does not hold everywhere.
E-commerce brands rely on Meta Ads.
Companies pay for Google visibility to rank 1st page.
Entire businesses are built around paid acquisition.
Paid ads are not fake growth.
They are another way of distribution.
If your product is strong, your creative grabs attention, your targeting is right and your funnel converts, paying to accelerate reach can make perfect sense.
- Organic is one strategy.
- Paid is another.
What matters is not whether you paid for attention.
What matters is whether that attention turns into customers.
Good job Fred 🫡
a lot of founders don't believe in paid ads
for some reason we are too conservative and believe that selling is bad and growth should be organic
I was like this too but after seeing my brother's company grow to $4m+ ARR just from paid ads I decided to give it a try and don't regret it

I love internet for that and i wouldnt be surprised to see Dan in this future car 😆
This car costs $132k to buy in Denmark.

So put your ad on this car.
48/50 spots left.
Starting at $50.

Forget about seeing your brand.
Everyone will *hear* your brand coming 💨

That's the power of building a genuine, high quality audience 👏
You can literally launch "nothing" 😆and not only do you break the 100k+ visit mark, but some people even keep asking in the comments where is the product or when it’s coming out
Build a strong community > ship a perfect product (that no one will care about)

The best ideas are often timing + originality + execution
He saw the momentum around Outbid, found a clever twist, and used it to fund his Mac 👏
Simple. Smart. Perfectly timed 🫡
That’s the lesson here
- build weird ideas (even if you doubt they work)
- Test it.
- Ship it.
You never know what will resonate until it exists.
Respect Vincent and hopefully more builders will dare to experiment like this !
3 outbids at night, 1 just now 🔥🔥
you no longer have to sign-in to place a bid (as suggested by @marclou)
@getrisiti need confirmation you placed that bid as it was pre-payment, or I'll have to free that amazing top spot..
i just listed flaex.ai on outliked, the leaderboard where you participate by posting and win based on likes.
every like on this tweet pushes it closer to #1.

We are entering an era where, as everything becomes "fake" with AI spreading everywhere, people will gravitate toward stuff based solely on tangible proof & emotions.
This encompasses various forms of evidence
- Social proof (influence)
- Proof of financial success (high spending power or significant MRR generated)
- Proof of trustworthiness (scoring or other systems demonstrating through collective validation, that a project or person is reliable)
The "Attention & Trust Economy" will drive people to either go crazy to stand out or try to find extreme strategies to get attention
