This seems like an incredibly niche product that only a handful of people are interested in to begin with. It isn't an notable or surprising result that building it resulted in little interest from general audiences.

Kind of ironic - the moat is money...

At the same time, I see the appeal. I feel like 10% of the comments I read lately are "is this an AI response?" - would be nice to be free of that. Probably not possible tho.

It also strikes me as being in competition with, you know, a group chat.

  • i was just about to say, what they're describing is an imessage group chat with your friends.
