To say good software engineers aren’t and fundamentally wouldn’t be good content creators, tells me you need to meet different people. Also reputation matters more than it has in the past. It’s just from a fundamental view, good content or social marketing is authentic and platform native. But yeah, it’s been a while now, you need to get off podcasts and get a good product, or shift your marketing towards somehow generating awareness about what Cluely is, what it can actually do, or simply that Cluely even has a product… Your reputation is as a tech startup founder at the end of the day. At some point your going to have to prove that. Unless you just wanna be the guy who’s a good marketer and created a viral tech interview app. I do hope you win.

TL;DR 💡
Roy explains that focusing on viral distribution and authentic, differentiated content is critical for startup success, often more than perfecting the product initially.
💡 Key Points
– Roy’s breakthrough came from viral LinkedIn posts that built attention before product maturity.
– He stresses that distribution is everything, using controversy and authenticity to stand out.
– Launching early with a minimal product allowed user feedback to drive improvements, tripling retention.
– Content must be tailored by platform: Twitter needs strong captions and engagement, while TikTok/Instagram rely on compelling video.
– Marketing and product development must work together; many startups fail due to lack of distribution, not product quality.

His seeming advantage is that self-interest is his only ethic. However, distribution without a feasible product is a ponzi scheme. The fraud will become evident when the house of cards eventually falls. Not a sound business model.
