Related to this post, I’ve definitely decided to make a U-turn in my SaaS strategy.
I realized that what I truly enjoy is connecting with builders and interesting people.
Fake engagement, forced replies... none of that brings real value to anyone in the long run.
I’d rather focus on:
- authentic interactions
- supporting other builders
- meaningful conversations
- quality over quantity
These things compound over time and are ultimately the most rewarding, both personally and professionally.
The internet already has enough noise. I’d rather build something that helps create genuine connections.
Curious to hear your thoughts:
Do you think authenticity can still win on X today, or do growth hacks inevitably take over?
To hell with the numbers.
Lately, I’ve been seriously thinking about completely pivoting my SaaS.
At first, I decided to build something to help people (and myself) grow on X faster.
But the more time I spend here, the more I feel like I'm heading in the wrong direction.
Then I saw the below post from Danny that confirmed what I had been thinking:
People are burning out by X. And I’m sure he’s far from the only one.
I’d rather spend 30 minutes a day on X building genuine relationships than spend 5 hours chasing engagement and followers (I don't even have time for that).
To hell with the numbers.
At some point, it’s just not healthy anymore.
So now I’m considering a completely different direction: building something that helps people grow on X in a healthier way.
Less addiction
Less fake engagement
Less “growth hacking”
More authenticity
More meaningful interactions
More genuine connections
What do you think?

X doesn’t tell you who unfollowed you.
So I built it.
This Chrome extension shows:
• who followed you
• who unfollowed you
Right on your profile page.
That’s it, it’s simple, a bit addictive, and maybe slightly toxic 😅
Free for smaller accounts up to 1,000 followers.
