I couldn’t agree more on what you just described about attention and retention. As a 30 year old founder with limited runway, it’s hard to ignore that funding flows to rage bait and viral content. Power users do bring more users, but it’s slow, and slow feels like a penalty right now. I’m questioning whether I should work on that 3-second hook or viral TikTok instead of just product and user love.
"But boring doesn’t care about your age. Your customers don’t check your bio when your servers crash. They check if you answer support tickets."
such a great quote.
No business was built on one and dones
I think it all started with the paper “attention is all you need”.
I would say; retention is all you need. Own the moment and grow it forward.
