Hi Hunters

Hi Hunters,

I'm bella. I am a techie and student for life. I'm currently creating or you can say, in progress of making a dating app cause I am fed up with whatever is available in the market. Do you guys have any suggestions or features that you will want to see in an app?

How would you promote a product in the age of AI “slop”?

I don t want to rant here (but I probably will a bit)...

Almost every ad visual, but also a lot of organic content on social media, is very generic and created by AI (I get it, it s a cheaper and more scalable way of promoting). But when everyone does it, it becomes really hard to stand out and differentiate yourself.

How do you make a "boring" category feel exciting?

Some product categories are naturally fun to talk about (AI video, dev tools, design tools, consumer apps). People understand the product and get excited pretty quickly.

But then there are categories that are important, useful, and valuable, but historically kind of boring. Things like analytics, internal tools, compliance, finance, HR software, etc.
