Hi Jugurtha, thank you very much for your answer.

But tell me something please, once you have a product and some users/clients, why don't you use more Social Media? To grow your brand loyalty and business growth? Social Media is pretty cheap.

What I see is that: 1 - most technical founders don't really like social media 2 - they rather prefer tech blogs, changelogs, subreddits, HK news, etc 3 - it is to hard to create content and to manage social media profiles 4 - most technical founders can't see any value on having good social media and feel it may be a waste of time 5 - once they don't quite understand social media enough, and to do so they should invest lots of time, they prefer to simply ignore it and leave it for another time

Am I right in any of my assumptions?
