This is so true. I've ONLY heard them mentioned from their own ads, never even once in the wild. Must be one hell of an ad budget.
For AI companies visibility is more important than the actual product. This is a characteristic of many bubbles were getting the word out is the only thing needed to get investors. Investors are scrambling to put as much money in AI as possible, so quality is not a concern for "entrepreneurs".
It looks like they blew their budget on ads instead of engineers :)
Just checking back in here to note I am legitimately considering a Youtube sub just to make the Base44 ads go away. So the ads are having some impact!
Why not use an Adblock?
Me too. They make it seem like you can vibe code an entire web shop in one prompt. In reality they charge by the token so if you hit a wall trying to get the AI to do stuff you run up a huge bill but it's too late to get out.
oh interesting. do you think that was a big part of their growth strategy pre acquisition or did the ads only pick up post acquisition?
