This business seems too good to be true .... besides the site went unsold on Flippa (https://flippa.com/7797091-lightingshoes-net) for obvious reasons.
I have nothing but respect for what CS Allen is doing and have always considered the earning claims on indiehackers with a pinch of salt but this one is really taking it far.
Anyone else knows any more about this?
Cheers!
Stripe bought them recently (see https://www.indiehackers.com/blog/acquired-by-stripe ), so he's now working on it full time - logically the quality of the site content should go up.

Logically yes, but this one is very misleading to say the least and i am very interested to know how Allen validates any of those claims
You should treat these pieces as interviews rather than investigative journalism. Take the numbers with a grain of salt, and do additional sleuthing on your own if you want to make serious financial decisions based on an interviewee's claims.

Check out the about page on the site. I don't validate claims. If something is conspicuously suspicious then I'll push back on it, otherwise I don't.

P.s i dont have anything against lightingshoes per se.
Thanks again for your explanation.

Thanks for pitching in Allen. As i mentioned i am a keen follower of your work, however in this case i really do feel that story doesnt deserve to be on indiehackers (not just the numbers but the validity of the story itself seems far fetched).
