nice to see more of these snake oil/fake SaaS by indie developers, enjoy the easy money while it lasts, because it won't for so long, or will it?

That's why I have never found a single useful product on ProductHunt for years now. It has become an absolute farce that it should be illegal.

How much does it take to pay a hunter on PH in order to be featured these days? asking for a friend.

there is no such thing neither in GPL nor in FOSS to be GPL in noncommercial uses and at the same time invalidate the license in commercial or closed uses. This is outright gaslighting, not to mention that the entire project is literally a big nothing burger like I said before, it's even less nothing burger than paid "get Geo/IP" apis for instance which needs at least some operations effort even despite becoming increasingly trivial in the serverless age.

you're not just an arts startup, you're in the classical music business so that's 10000x harder, most tech based startups that enter that business fail because they cannot grow as a usual startup should. There is a company called IDAGIO that was founded probably around 2013, it relaunched multiple times, they played with the pricing from free to 5$/month to 10$/month to free again, they raised around 20 million dollars and employed 100 people, they bribed and paid journalists under and over the table to get every possible positive coverage possible for more than 2 years now, they bought facebook, twitter followers, they did everything including the dirtiest growth tactics any marketing pro would think of, and they are still struggling with growth.

It's a very tough business and needs extreme patience and shamelessness alike. My recommendation is to do partnerships with other arts companies or institutions related to your market, most of such partnerships are fake anyway, but can somehow give you some boost. That's at least what IDAGIO, the longest surviving classical music company has been doing so far, beside bribing journalists of course :D.

the skill of shamelessly shilling for yourself on HN, Reddit, Twitter, IH and PH all day long, everyday until you make it.

They are not, but isn't it a weird coincidence that his alleged victims stayed silent with a fucking RAPE case until he decided to expose the most powerful people and governments in the world?

There were, not long ago, times when Assange was considered a saint of freedom after he exposed the corrupt Bush administration, the liberals everywhere were defending him and his case everywhere, they even made a Hollywood film about him. But he then made the mistake of his life, he exposed the corruption of the Clintons and got implicated in the Russia gate meme because Trump somehow won. Now he is totally on his own. Nobody will defend him even if these corrupt governments burnt him alive and broadcasted it live. Makes you think if these liberals actually give a single shit about freedom anyway.

I know that this is an ultra liberal community and I will get downvoted and flagged within a few minutes. But if someone is too scared to even lose a worthless website account to say what he sees as the right opinion, he should not live anyway.

I am not, that's just how things are these days. And if you're talking in a condescending way to me as if I am the angry white male, I assure you I am not white and not even a Western man and never been to the west.
