I absolutely HATE it so far Forces you to invite friends to use it too, won’t allow you in unless they accept (I think one at least)

Yeah and it doesn’t even tell you how does it work or how it looks like once you are in. It’s like luring into some scams. Not cool at all.

Truth is that I’ve alr deleted the app from my phone and regretted so much that I gave away my phone number

To be fair this is the issue almost every new social network platform will face these days: users are no longer just attracted by cool visual element cos they don’t last long, and no one needs just another channel of communication.

Product owners need to think more about “does my service make others’ lives better?” “Does my product make they live their lives fuller?” “How do help them (and my business) grow at the same time?” “How do I help them?”

If any answer to these questions is a “no” or “IDK”, the product will just be another piece of junk after the hype and won’t be sustainable in long run, because people don’t see the value in it and won’t value it further.
