It works well for products targeting founders since they're very active online. However, there's no problem to find social media communities of gardeners, lawyers, content creators, etc., to be active in.
Not everyone who gave feedback ended up being an active user, but they were all part of our target audience. Otherwise their feedback would've been quite irrelevant.
"Feels like a group of people agreeing to follow each other on social media so they can tell others they have X followers." made me laugh not gonna lie, but it's actually a nice community of founders. Currently at 140k members.
And despite giving a polite reply that provides further information and your viewpoints on adopting this marketing strategy in other fields, you just get downvoted because.. who the fuck knows why when it comes to random pedantic idiocy.
Loved your post above, useful tips on one of the hardest parts of starting small, and I made sure to save it.
