Fair challenge on the ROI question.
Honest origin story: I work in financial services. Every day I need to post updates, share market info, and stay visible to clients — it's part of the job. I built MindThread because I was spending hours on scheduling tools with terrible UX instead of actually talking to people. I was my own first customer.
After launching, I realized the same problem exists across Taiwan's financial and insurance industry — thousands of advisors doing the same manual posting grind every day. That's the real market.
My view: social media time should be spent on actual conversations, not fighting bad interfaces. The agents handle the repetitive publishing. The human interaction stays human.
You're spending 7% of your free tier limit just to keep an "audience" of 27 accounts on life support. The real question is: how many of those 12k followers actually convert to revenue instead of just sitting there as dead weight? If the ROI from these accounts doesn't even cover the engineering hours you spend babysitting those 62 scripts, this isn't a business, it's just a hobby
