Based on my observation, out of 10 "build in public" posts, probably 5 or 6 are sharing revenue

Based on my observation, all the social platforms are now circling the drain of optimizing for engagement, and posts about $$$ get 100x higher engagement than posts about product development insights, reflections, etc.

So the small subset of posts that actually make it to your timeline to be observed are often the ones about money.

That's been my experience building in public so far.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
