Don't fall for the "how I hit $10k MRR" posts here

Lately there's been a wave of posts here with the same format. Someone shares how they got to $1k, $2k, sometimes $10k MRR. There's a short backstory, a few lessons learned, and a nice round number.

Then you look at what the SaaS actually does, and it's almost always the same thing: a tool that helps founders find leads. Usually by watching Reddit for people asking for a product like yours.

That's not a coincidence. This sub is full of founders who need customers, so a lead-gen tool is exactly what you'd want to sell here. The MRR story gets you to read, and the product mention near the end is what the post is really for.

Anyone else noticed this, or am I just getting cynical?
