yep, sadly the problem was always the market. We all, investors, said to the team on telegram, and also here that was needed a big marketing campaign, and to be sure to have a marketing budget.. but they were sure that " the product wins" . A big LOL here, everyone know that also a shi*ty product can rank well if it has marketing budget, and the opposite can happen too, in this case.
you are right, the finished working product is not the key to success. But to attract and keep users on the platform is a great job. Here is the case when marketing is not enough.
