Ask HN: As a founder/entrepreneur, is Indie Hackers still valuable to you?

For me, the $$$$/mo requirement and focus was a turnoff to participating.

No idea if that will ever change (or if it has), but I’d imagine there are other people like me who enjoy building things and talking about the process, but are not interested in sharing such personal details.

Out of interest, are the MMR $ amounts independently verified?

I have the sense some founders are inflating those figures but I could be wrong.

We shared our true figures when Chessable got on IH.

I don’t see what could be the motivation behind lying?

If one did hoping to catch investors eyes, investors would quickly uncover the lie, as they definitely do check!

It could be a viable way to catch potential customers' eyes as a B2B startup. "Hey everyone my company definitely makes $50k/month so lots of other folks trust us and you should too!"

Yes, all of the MMR on IH are verified by Stripe. No really independent of course but I think reliable enough for everyone.
