I really don't get how it would work. Creators don't care about their most beloved or loyal fans, they will post their work, reply within a timeframe to the first few then forget about it and keep checking for how many views. How would it serve them to connect with loyal fans when it's not benefiting them. They could use platforms like Patreon or Only fans to allow access to "loyal fans" so they can fleece more money from them. Honestly as a creator himself how on earth could he not see the exchange of value was none existent. On a platform like RUclips, you only care and want to connect with the RUclips algorithm and make your video go viral and get more people to watch your stuff. I wish he continued with it and I would love to see if I was correct
Ben Awad's "track record" of videos tells me it's a meme, so does the concept of the app - such a (imho) terrible concept, but the time he's spent on making these videos tells me it's not.
You just like the beginning of projects, the amazing productivity and technology choices you can make. The rapid progress is exhilarating at first and then it gets boring. You should really work more on your project's concept to find something you're passionate about and will work on all the way through. Also, you should be the sole founder, as you seem to really hate people having different ideas. This way you can make all the decisions
Not sure you listened to what he said based on that anlysis. He literally just mentioned he's found his passion: 'creating for creators'. I think he's been wise to exit early after discovering him and his co-founder just have different mindsets (which is unsurprising given product/software people compared to marketers tend to have very different approaches to building an early stage product). There's a fine line between exiting too early and exiting too late when things aren't working. Better to do it now rather than later when everyone is much more heavily invested.
"You just like the beginning of projects, the amazing productivity and technology choices you can make" - he pretty much worked way beyond the initial stages of the project with the doge clubhouse thing, so I don't think this is an accurate take. "You should really work more on your project's concept to find something you're passionate about and will work on all the way through" - he literally just said in the video that his next venture is going to be in the creator economy space, which was the exact same industry he worked on with astral fans. "you seem to really hate people having different ideas" - really bad assumption to make if you don't know the full context of why he made the decision to leave. tldr: this comment makes it look like you're bashing Ben for once again "failing" on another project with all these weird assumptions, as if the whole point of building a startup wasn't about experimenting. edit: typos
Honestly ben, you gotta see things through. Doge house was a great concept, gotta learn to pivot. I think give at least 1 year into a project you’re announcing.

That actually exists, it's called a startup factory. Some of them specialise on building MVPs for early stage startups with non tech founders. There's also some dev freelancing as "CTO as a service"

Okay, we can subscribe to your RUclips channel too Ben. You asked for this.
You should create a startup that creates startups!?
That actually exists, it's called a startup factory.
Some of them specialise on building MVPs for early stage startups with non tech founders.
There's also some dev freelancing as "CTO as a service"
Ben's pulling an Erlich Bachman until he finds his pied piper lol.. keep at it Ben!
Surprised to see the amount of people saying that they knew it all along and poking fun at Ben's situation.
Yeah, but I think Ben shouldn’t publicize anything about his next project, because he kinda hyped it up just for it to die
I hear it all the time... marketing people are killing projects.
My idea is something like community driven development, asking the users what they want and decide with polls on what to develop next.
Like OSRS?
Hopefully you had a good equity agreement in place since your work so far will still be helping the company even with your departure.
This is your third one in the killing spree, you can press the right button to call the UAV now.
finally we all knew it was gonna happen but i am surprised it took this long
Wake up , eat, start a new startup, make vlog on that startup, leave the startup, repeat
Hyperfans: The startup we deserve, but not the one we need right now.
Fail early, fail fast, fail often.
Clearly you don't care if you're startups succeed. That's cool, and it's fun to watch.
It's extremely difficult to startup a social network app. Even if you do, Facebook could probably crank it out way faster then you could.
