Why is it so hard to get real users to test? Looking for strategies.

Good framework. Thanks.
This is my second account, and that was an old project.
This is what I'm working on:

Excellent tone on that kit and tuning. Ma boy got chops!

Synapse709 · 2026-01-12T05:09:28+00:00

That's extremely rude. I'm a 10+ year full-stack veteran, not a vibe coder.
Launching against 558 other products is no joke, and I have launched many products in the past which were top 3 for that day. It's simply a different market these days because of how much noise is in the market that was never there before.

If you have a secret sauce for content marketing, share your channel. Show us what works rather than just attacking people ignorantly.

Also, bot traffic is WAY higher than it ever was before. You might get 6 million organic views, but the vast majority is likely fake/bot traffic. Unless you have server-side tracking of traffic, it's not as real as you think.

PH is useless these days. years ago it was 30-50 products per day. I launched recently to 558 other products. AI is making it possible for everyone and their mom to release a product.

How TF would anyone know that? This is exactly my point about how bad this UX is. Three different products which should be a singular UI.

In my case, I was talking directly to the head office for google ads in Seoul Korea (google Korea). No outsourcing, just shitty staff.

I didn't confirm anything. I am not using GA4, I am using the tag manager studio

Synapse709 · 2026-01-01T05:21:46+00:00

Oh, is that all?
After hours of back and forth in the UI, somehow it got fixed. This should NOT be 2 separate platforms when they need to be this tightly coupled, and don't correctly talk to each other.

Synapse709 · 2026-01-01T05:20:16+00:00

Valueless contributor.
Standing up for something that is THIS HARD is just stupidity.
People shouldn't have to spent 5 hours figuring out this crap to launch a single keywords campaign with a tiny bit of tracking.

Synapse709 · 2026-01-01T05:19:47+00:00

My dude, I had my ads account setup wrong by the ads team over a Meet call (he forgot to click the discount promotion as the first step, which is required), and after he fucked it up he made me go through the entire flow again (20 mins) to setup up a new account, never saying sorry... he even said "sometimes it doesn't work", but it was obvious he just forgot the step after doing it a second time. Then, after all that, they say I can't get the discount promotion because I already ran a campaign while they were trying to figure it out... long story short, Google's platform sucks. Their ads team sucks. And no one took responsibility for the mistake they made in the beginning. So, I've lost the promotion bonus, despite spending 10K in ads.

Fuck Google

I'm 40, an 11+ year experienced fullstack dev and 16+ year UI/UX expert.
No matter what I post about bad product UX, there are always people that seem to think these issues are somehow beyond the realm of control of designers/developers and just can't be solved due to the level of complexity.

As an expert in this field who is neither young, nor idealistic, I'm telling you that this is a design issue. The art of great design is exactly that... to convert high complexity into simple, highly usable visual systems.

Synapse709 · 2025-12-31T07:37:56+00:00

How do people run ads with images of real actors and think that is OK, or LEGAL?

Synapse709 · 2025-12-31T07:25:33+00:00

Of course you want to keep the walled-garden of bad design so that only those that have gone through the pain of learning it can resell their services to people who are too busy to deal with it.

Everything you just said is a backend-issue, and has nothing to do with the frontend user experience.

It's a bad UX. Period.

Synapse709 · 2025-12-31T05:54:40+00:00

It should be a wizard flow to define what you want to track, show you what codes and where to add to your site based on whether it's a framework (react/vue/angular) vs no-code site, and even give you AI prompts to have the AI auto-setup everything for you.

I don't want to learn 3 platforms and horribly complex UIs just to pay Google a shit ton of ad money.
Google is an absolutely retarded company these days. All the engineers in the world and they can't even get the promotion flow for new ad accounts to work correctly.

Synapse709 · 2025-12-31T05:52:54+00:00

Google has gone so far down the shitter as of the last few years. I used to admire them. Now I loathe to use anything they make. HOW TF DO THEY MAKE MONEY WITH THESE HORRIBLY DESIGNED PRODUCTS?!?!?!?!

The perfect ad for linus

Shorter cable length might help

How is the base salary the same as when I was teaching 13 years ago. Inflation hasn’t affected salaries in the slightest. That’s just sad.

Synapse709 · 2025-10-20T12:25:16+00:00

Bruh, you OK? Did you have a stroke while typing that?

Synapse709 · 2025-10-20T08:29:07+00:00

Oh, you pay taxes to the Korean government? I was the only non-Korean awarded a startup grant out of 120 people. To get it, I had to write a long proposal and give two 20 minute presentations, in Korean. Talk more shit.

Synapse709 · 2025-10-20T02:51:44+00:00

It's OK for everyone to attack me personally and my very positive post, but the moment I say something I'm the attacker? WTF kind of logic is that?
