Tweet Hunter's tactic

Tweet Hunter · X growth tool

Run five products at once so one platform change can't sink the business

Portfolio at ~$700K a month; one earlier product nearly died from X changes

Chose a portfolio over one product mainly out of fear: AI news can make a startup obsolete overnight, and platform changes can kill a product (X under Elon Musk almost killed Tweet Hunter at ~$200K/month). With five products, losing one to an OpenAI feature launch wouldn't end the company.
