Guyyysss, I think I’m officially exhausted from marketing 😭. Over the past few weeks, I’ve tried pretty much everything I could think of. Posted on LinkedIn. Posted on Instagram. Posted on TikTok.
Result? Lots of impressions. Almost no users.
Tried Reddit. Banned.
Tried Hacker News. Flagged.
At some point it starts feeling less like marketing and more like getting rejected by the entire internet 💀. The frustrating part is that I genuinely believe the product solves a real problem. It basically checks suspicious websites, emails, phone numbers, and crypto wallets and helps identify potential scam or risk signals before people trust them. The idea came from seeing how difficult it has become to tell what's legitimate online anymore.
A website can look professional.
An email can look convincing.
A wallet can seem completely normal.
And people have no easy way to check. So that's what I've been working on. Ironically, creating it felt easier than getting people to notice it 😭. For now, I've honestly stopped marketing for a bit. Not because I want to quit, Just because constantly posting, launching, getting ignored, getting flagged, getting banned, and repeating the cycle is mentally exhausting.
If you've been through this stage before, I'd genuinely love to hear how you got past it. And would love to hear some genuine advices from you guys!

built something that might solve the Reddit issue (free and open source) github.com/dancolta/subscope
It's a Claude plugin. You get interviewed on what you sell and who your customers are, then it scans the exact posts/threads and comments and splits results into 2 tracks:
Real buyers - ones with real buying intent
Authority plays - threads where you could leave a comment and build authority
You won't get a ton of results, because every run goes through 20+ filters (excluding the karma farmers, bot accounts, etc), so what you get back is genuinely valuable. Beyond keywords, it spawns agents that check the actual context of the threads.
I've shipped a couple of updates lately. It also has some skills that help you analyze specific threads, tune your profile and give live feedback on results and search for specific buyer patterns like price changes / tool comparisons and more. You can see the whole list in the readme on github
