Have you had success with guerrilla marketing?
I'm learning (slowly) about the importance of marketing your product. (I am probably one of todays 10,000 around guerrilla marketing)
So last night I hacked together https://purposefulpoop.com/ to see if it could drive some leads for my product.
I'm going to launch the playful tool next monday and use this thread to give a plot synopsis on how it all goes.
Prior to launch though, I'm curious if anyone has any feedback that might make the hook stronger?
I added (a poorly designed) OG image, so the shareable is at least somewhat tasteful:
What else am I missing?

I've been creating Press (The Internet Press), an exclusive profit sharing social network. I see a lot of posts out there advising to not "go after a billion $ unicorn" but are we really going to be stuck with Meta forever?
I want to make what people want! I intend for Press to have limited curated ads to enable profit sharing and people can buy their profile names like a .com for $14 / year and resell at any amount, any time. Posts are crafted with a WYSIWYG editor to post anything from plain text, to your flyers' wildest dreams.
B2C AI Adoption: Is advertising AI features a Plus or a Minus for Growth?
I'm seeing a growing trend of B2C products actively advertising their AI features as a USP, claiming AI being the prime solution.
However, being back in my hometown for a weekend, I've heard a lot of apprehension around data privacy and a general lack of understanding "what happens in that blackbox". Nothing I hear very often back in Berlin, so demographic differences are clearly playing a big role in user receptiveness.
Transparency is crucial, no doubt. Advertising AI on platforms like producthunt or in decks for investors makes a lot of sense - that's the right audience.
But are we far enough along the AI adoption curve for "AI-powered" to be a major selling point on the customer-facing side? Or are we scaring off potential users with concerns about data usage and complexity?
Let's discuss!
Have you seen AI transparency hurt or help your user acquisition efforts?
How are you addressing user concerns about AI?
