It's rather unlikely that an anon on social media (HN) is "the guy you're selling to." Possible, but there are so many other motivations for a critical comment. "The guy you're selling to" is tangible and clearly has money to spend to solve a real problem.

If there is anything I've learned on social media, is that when you pitch an idea on Internet you can have hundreds of people swearing they'll buy your product day 1 if it has x, y or z. When the time comes to pull out the credit card however, suddenly everyone is gone.
