Someone tipped me off about a sketchy corner of the internet selling dodgy Windows keys via Reddit and Google.
So what did I do? I bought one.
Then I mapped how these sites get their traffic.
So did the Windows key work or not? Read on:

This was a phenomenal read man, I had no idea Google ranked Reddit threads (that are clearly botted) so high.
Just shared your essay here: www.indiethinkers.com/posts/48
Do not give your data to entities that are not incentivised to use it in your best interests.

When we save time, we create a vacuum.
The challenge is deciding what to fill it with.
Leverage only matters if you have clarity.
The productivity promise of AI isn't just about efficiency—it's about creating space for what matters. But first, you need to know what matters most.
Substack's biggest threat isn't subscription fatigue.
It's the winner-take-all dynamic.
Sharing my thoughts below.

Every built a $3M business by ignoring the startup playbook.
They've created a self-sustaining loop where essays build trust, trust drives product adoption, and products fuel more subscribers.

Best thing I’ve written in a long time.
Will hit the interwebs tomorrow.
Google’s NotebookLM is amazing but the UI/UX feels clunky, especially navigation. Is anyone using something comparable or better?

Indie Thinkers just launched on Uneed!

People love AI Software BECAUSE it's non-deterministic, not in spite of it.
Fuzziness is a Feature.
A lot of these tools feel like slot machines that cost pennies to play and offer an outsized award.

Building in public isn’t dead.
People are blown away by Perplexity Deep Research.
What’s funny is the “cool” part of it is that it’s simply thinking out loud.
It’s showing its work.
This is a reminder to show what’s going on behind the scenes.
Bring everyone along for the ride.
Rough drafts can be just as or even more beautiful than their final equivalents.

December was the highest traffic month for Indie Thinkers thus far, and I've only spent $20 on marketing for an experiment. Excited to invest more in the community in 2025 and help more writers grow organically.
