People on X and on reddit often post saying they are looking to connect and network but it’s never really about that. I found its really a ploy for engagement for their influencer like business.

I respect the hustle but these kinds of things leave me with a sour taste in my mouth since i’m trying to build something on my own. I do not need other founders as my customers, I just want to build relationships for recommendations and feedback, FOR FREE. Why is that so hard to find? Why is my only choice YC? or something adjacent.

Idk if anyone else has felt this or experienced this, I see it as a huge problem that I’m about to build a solution for.
