"Stop registering, get listed" is the line I'd want stamped above every solo founder's monitor. Most of us over-allocate to cold-acquisition theater and under-allocate to borrowed-audience surfaces.
Two test questions for the pivot: (1) does it work in already-saturated cohorts (crypto, infosec) where awesome-* lists are crowded, or is the unlock cleaner in newer territory? (2) does it survive at half-density — would 50 platforms + 40 angles still produce 312k★, or is the long tail where the asymmetric arbitrage hides?
