> Its just another form of marketing and it should be illegal to go around spamming posts advertising a product

I think this is the dogma that holds a lot of devs back, the belief that sharing your work, the product, the thought process, the journey, the mistakes, the wins etc is “spammy”. Would save your rhetoric for those who actually spam - ai slop generators, bots, link farmers, paid shillers etc. Not indie devs on HN trying to build something for the world.

I'd consider cold DMs to be spam. What if every business did this? This b2b call center stuff happening on peoples social media accounts. Its gross and I dont like it. Please keep advertising within advertising channels. You arent authentic by spamming people's DMs.

Yes, by all means, build and promote your product.

Planning out interactions according to 3 fake personas is still fake though. Not that I have any better ideas, we all have to engage with this nonsense and waste our lives producing it. It would be nice to somehow not have to.
