Opaque upvotes and one-day lotteries hurt, but the real failure is the audience. When the room is mostly other makers, upvotes measure peer approval rather than willingness to pay. Vanity rankings rarely turn into paying customers.
Nukkadly still gives makers a launch moment. We measure success by matched needs and Fits, Would try, and Would pay signals, not just day one spikes.
People who need tools for specific jobs, and makers who want real customers rather than reciprocal upvotes.
