Tarpit Building 'a social network for X' is the textbook trap — no crowd, no value.

A feed is worth nothing without the crowd, and you can't bootstrap a crowd as a solo dev. YC lists 'a social network for X' among its most common tarpits. The only ways anyone broke in (e.g. TikTok) used a billion-dollar acquisition plus an algorithm, not a better app.
