Don't believe everything you see on Reddit.
those "I made $10k MRR in 3 months with my SaaS" posts with the beautiful revenue screenshot ? most of it is marketing. Or a one-time spike. Or revenue before refunds, fees, churn.
nobody posts the screenshot of the month after when it dropped back to $200. nobody talks about the 14 failed products before the one that "blew up".
nobody mentions the existing audience, the paid ads, the connections they already had.
u're comparing your behind-the-scenes to someone else's highlight reel. And they know exactly what they're doing by posting that.
build because you believe in what you're building. Not because someone's Stripe screenshot got 2k upvotes.
has anyone here actually built something sustainable WITHOUT the hype ?
