Reminds me of x.ai. You sign up, they put you on a huge "waitlist" that moves slowly, and periodically remind you that you can jump big chunks of that list by spamming people about the product on social media.

Asking people to whore themselves on social media is becoming a new startup marketing strategy. I hate stuff like this.



It's not really new. Years ago before Facebook clamped down, it was pretty common practice to entice people to spam their friends list

New?


Among popular startups? The waiting list approach? New, at least for me.
