Does this frustration discourage you, or does it inspire you to maintain your efforts with the same enthusiasm?

I feel It's expensive for me as a founder to overthink or frustrate about things like that
My goal is to find the shortest path to make my product visible. Supporting others and "PH networking" helps.
While it may be not always fair game, it's a good working tool to compensate for luck brand power while you are early!

Launching soon!
Keep focusing on building genuine relationships and showcasing the value of your product.
@hamza_afzal_butt Agree!
Do you set any targets before launching a product to determine how much support you can expect from the community?

I believe any experience gives you some learnings and understanding of what can be improved next time. The situation you described looks frustrating, but I hope in real life good products get the support they deserve.
Don't be discouraged; keep engaging with your audience and building power.
Remember, your true supporters will show up over time, not just on launch day.
It can be disappointing when the support isn't return the favour , but keep pushing forward!
Keep track of who supports you, and remember to thank them.
Lately the trend am seeing is that makers reach out to other makers for support and tell them in return they will support too. And when the time comes, they ghost you. I have personally experienced this.
