Here's the correct opinion on the Tyler Denk <> Marc Lou newsletter software drama: > MailCheap's launch is objectively a FLOP @marclou's posts dunking on @denk_tweets and promoting his vibe-coded product have 2.5M+ views 7 days later, MailCheap has just 27 customers ($653 MRR). That’s about 1 customer for every 70k people who saw it > Yet, even if MailCheap is not successful long-term, it's still a WIN for Marc He's gained a massive amount of attention and is continuing to grow his cult-like following > Marc is a genius marketer, but… Tyler Denk is too This is King Kong versus Godzilla. These are two of the best guys in the world at creating spectacles and controversy (around niche business topics). > Tyler took control of the narrative and shifted it from "beehiiv price increase" to "vibe-coded software Vs beehiiv’s track record" No one's talking about beehiiv's prices anymore. And a ton of people have jumped in to justify the pricing - or talk about how low it is compared to other email competitors. INSTEAD, we're now arguing about the topics where beehiiv has an edge: Deliverability, product, track record And yes… People are crying about Tyler “punching down.” Tyler’s provocative language (basement dwellers) is harsh on purpose. He gets back in the spotlight and can direct it where he wants. The reaction: Pearl-clutching and people accusing Tyler of being a “bad guy” because he counterpunched after being attacked first. > No one will care about Marc fans taking the 'moral high ground' 3 months from now... But they remember beehiiv. > The idea that Tyler and beehiiv should just shut up and put their heads down is stupid anyway If you are attacked, the right move is to attack back. Most people don't realize that power comes from attention and positioning. Not what your revenue is now. Marc's influence is on the same level as Tyler, if not bigger. It would be stupid to not respond and let Marc control the narrative and his positioning in the ESP market without pushback. Every founder needs to tell their own story, or someone else will do it for you. No one is bullying anyone. Beehiiv is a bigger business. But Marc has 350,000+ more followers - and is the #1 or #2 influencer in the indie hacker space Both these guys started building in public around the same time in ~2022 and are around the same age. We can let founders have a fun debate without all the moral-high-ground BS. You can't win as a founder by staying quiet anymore. You need to be loud. Polarizing. You must control the narrative to build a category-defining business. And remember… We're talking about email here. It's not that serious. This is marketing. They both get massive attention. Nobody gets hurt. Everyone wins. P.S. Online debates strip away nuance and dumb things down. That’s why IN-PERSON discussions are so much better. If Tyler and Marc both want to chat at New Media Summit 2027 (@TheNMSummit ) I'm happy to arrange it.
