A comment on “Product market fit” is a silly term for what it wants to describe.

This writer seems to really struggle with semantics.

"Product market fit" clearly means: there is a market that closely fits your product.

The consequences of that might be the extreme growth etc. When people make the flippant remarks about product-market fit causing you to want to die, they're just making the logical leap from a market existing, to high demand.

It's not that complicated. Nothing needs to change.

"there is a market that closely fits your product"

For there to be PMF, the product and the market must at the very least have found each other. Otherwise it's just a cool product that no one knows about.
