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!

Quick question. What exactly are you posting? These platforms don't respond the same.
Not especially Reddit. You need to treat it like a compound dataset and not an ad network.
Oh I see my guy @dhruvtayal commented 😅
Give him something to chew on also, he likes these things 🤣🤣
Mostly a mix of founder-style posts, product stories, visual demos, and real examples of scams or suspicious websites that the system catches. Looking back, I think I was expecting the same content to work everywhere, which was probably a mistake 😭
Reddit especially humbled me real fast 💀. when you say treat it like a compound dataset and not an ad network, what does that actually look like in practice? More commenting, answering questions, sharing experiences, etc. before posting anything about the product?
And now I'm scared to see what Dhruv is about to say 😭🤣
