Yesterday, I shared a tweet with general advice about asking for feedback. Whether you're closing a discussion, selling your product, giving a demo, etc., asking for feedback is crucial. However, in response to that tweet, two people are now asking me for feedback. But why?
That was just a thought that I shared after a meeting with
@NilGambit.
I’m not offering my services to provide feedback on your product.
Moreover, I often propose product feedback sessions. You post your product, and I provide honest feedback. I try to do this once a month. I generally spend more than 4 hours trying to help people by answering. These 4 hours are most of the time a net worth. I just sometimes get a thank you or a like. I love this community, but there are things that are not working at all from a relational perspective.
What's the point of asking for feedback from random people without even reading other responses, especially when the first response is from a tool designed to gather feedback by
@mehdi_khoudali?
The X
#buildinpublic community seems to have too many people solely focused on themselves, trying to gain users, feedback, and followers without any authenticity.
And this is not just about two people on a tweet, this is a general fact.
So my message is simple: If you want to receive, start by giving. And do so in a coherent context and without waiting for something back. Learn to take pleasure in sharing.
And yes, as soon as I post, some bots will like the post as always. They call these bots marketing strategies, but I call them inhumanity. They pretend to be interested in people's posts without even reading them.
And I'm not saying I'm perfect. But at least my account is authentic, manually crafted, and I'm not randomly asking for feedback or pushing my project everywhere.
Stop treating people as mere numbers or followers. See them as people.
Just my daily thought 🤣. Yes, I probably ate lion this morning.
Never forget to ask feedback to other people.
If you don’t ask, you don’t obtain.
