#13This simple story (I know the whole story is not simple especially ones can make profit) gives me some hope. I am building a service by using elixir/phoenix (yeah it seems an opposite direction to the OP's) and is very frustrated from making decision in every module or line of code because my obsession of good practice!
Thank you for sharing. I will be relaxing, writing shit and getting the service done.

#15> The top cause of death for indie startups is failure to delegate the tasks you're not good at and being overtaken by more social players. Lesson learned.
What is a "more social player" in this context? Somebody who does lots of networking and is good at hiring or is it related to social media like VK, FB, etc?
Yes, it's about networking and the ability to delegate.
I've been struggle with it for years. Felt like if I entrusted some part of work to someone else, they wouldn't give it 100% of their attention. Then I realized that it's true most of the time, but the trick is it they don't have to in order to finish the task.

Haha, good point. But I'm sure you will, it's just a matter of time and the number of attempts.

#18TL;DR "I scrape content from others and sell them without any credit to or rewards for the original creators" AFAICS.
Kindly read the article.
I did:
"[I] decided to make a little tool to help me scrape the posts of my competitors and publish them to my group on a regular basis."
And
"I had created a spicy mix of public domain content, some supposedly copyrighted content from unknown authors, [...]"
I found this particularly striking:
"Usually it was the content of some authors that were difficult to track and attribute to. Sometimes it was blatant plagiarism."
So you were/are well aware of the problem. But instead of Doing The Right Thing (find out source, ask for permission) you just declare that to be difficult (and yes. It is. Full ACK).
