This site offers a quick summary of the major points mentioned in an article that might take you 10 mins to read. And also it curates all business articles written by founders on one site. So yeah. Plenty of people needed it :)

I'm not at all clear how your 2nd paragraph follows from the first.

The very first case I opened was this: https://www.growthunt.com/record/recs0zRzWCwBB1AB1/from-laun... It links to a post by a Roger Swannell, which is actually empty besides a link to a deleted IndieHackers post by Danny Postma.

Hey, founder of both Landingfolio & Headlime here. I'm from the Netherlands, currently living in Bali.

The Indiehacker post was about the revenue for Headlime. I've taken the post down since 9 companies decided to steal my content based on the post..

How is this example not simply fraudulent / lying? https://www.growthunt.com/record/rec2WipWzOnr06ODF/getting- 400-signups-with-a-video-of-a-product-that-didn-t-exist ... leading to: https://www.lunadio.com/blog/i-got-400-signups-with-a-video-... "Hi, we created plugin for generating ads in Photoshop" ... after faking a video to make it look like this what had been done. If this is the kind of crap that goes on to 'c…

Its called validation. A lot of successful companies are doing it. Zappos by Tony Hsieh is one example that comes to mind.

With the linked example, there is no successful 'company', just someone lying.

Hallo! That's awkward, was just playing off the stereotype. I owe you an apology then, didn't consider that possibility and also got the purpose of Headlime wrong.
