I don't think landing page with an email subscription is an MVP. Many people have done it and it definitely helps in gathering an audience and get your initial users, but it won't help you in understanding your product. Product is more than just users saying ok to try a product. It's about the will to pay or engagement. I think a working product with minimal core features can be called an MVP. The feedback from users after I launched my product* is what defined it.

I tried something on similar lines,there are some problems with this.Bio's usually don't represent the kind of person or field influencer but instead provide false positives. Eg:- If you search for topics like politics and history, you will find more people who propagate conspiracy theories in the results.Also, sometimes people add their interest in bio's which does not represent their influence in the topic.

True.The idea behind creating on the story of pipecourse is because usually people blog about what worked for them and only when things get succesful. By blogging also about what i tried,what didn't work , i thought people can relate better and I think if lot of startups did this, I think we can learn a lot from each other.

Really great feedback. The reason I asked this question is I just launched my app https://pipecourse.com/ and its been few days. I tried cold emailing people but getting almost no response. Any particular feedback for this will be appreciated.
