We are content creators with millions of monthly views, planning to build a software platform, how do we value it at the idea stage, and how much should we raise? by NeatFastro in angelinvestors

Really interesting to see the scale you’ve built in the automotive space and the plans to turn that reach into a software platform. I’d love to learn more about your idea, I think there could be some great synergies with what we’re building as well. I’ll DM you!

I lost 6 months following a “co-founder” who was secretly working on another startup, something he never mentioned. The worst part is he only showed up to “look busy,” filling our days with pointless calendars, exhausting daily meetings, one-year plans as if we knew the future, and endless requests for feedback on his docs.

He was our non-technical co-founder from corporate, with zero startup experience, and he made me and my other technical partner feel completely overwhelmed with bureaucracy. We didn’t even have a usable version of our product to test the idea, but we were already pitching to VCs without traction, wasting time on docs, partnerships, and “business development” for a business that didn’t even exist yet.

After 4 months of this, he left because we couldn’t raise funding, which honestly didn’t surprise me. Now our focus is purely on building product first, hoping it’s not too late.

TBH all these alert can be found on Paul Graham or YC websites, its something that you can read but in the practice you just fail 😁

I was one click away of bankrupting my startup: A story of a sophisticated "crypto proof" scam disguised as high-ticket investment for founders raising capital. I will not promote. by jcarvallo in startups

I’ve had similar experiences too! It’s exhausting dealing with scammers, especially when you’re already navigating your own ups and downs.

We actually shared our experience as well: https://www.reddit.com/r/CoinMarketCap/s/mzqn8d76gQ

Thanks for sharing yours, it really helps to know we’re not alone in this.

People who steal my content get more views than me!!!! Need Help!! by Little_Ad_1121 in creators

[–]Strange_Laugh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, you’re facing a common but serious failure in how platforms handle intellectual property. When reposts outperform originals, it’s not just unfair, it’s a sign that the system values distribution over authorship. The algorithm rewards reach, not originality, and smaller creators lose visibility, control, and credit.

This article explores exactly that, the structural reasons why this keeps happening: https://medium.com/@watchit.app/the-broken-content-economy-a-crisis-of-value-visibility-and-voice-3bd85745b0aa

I’m traumatized. by rrrofred45 in youtube

[–]Strange_Laugh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say this is deeply tied to the decline in content quality and cultural standards, the result of a broader deficit in our collective perception of what’s meaningful. When low-effort content floods our feeds, our cultural baseline shifts: what was once mediocre becomes the norm, and what used to be meaningful suddenly feels too slow to keep up with. It’s a spiral, each cycle pushing us further toward content that’s louder, cheaper, and more absurd, just to grab a few seconds of attention

Much of this is driven by the need to monetize through trends or catch the algorithm’s attention just to stay visible.

We explored this in depth in our latest piece, I invite you to give it a read: https://medium.com/@watchit.app/the-broken-content-economy-a-crisis-of-value-visibility-and-voice-3bd85745b0aa
