About this listen

 Is "build a community" the most dangerous business advice you've ever received? In this eye-opening episode, we dive into how your carefully cultivated community could become your biggest nightmare. Through cautionary tales of Etsy's identity crisis, Tumblr's spectacular self-destruction, and Reddit's ongoing power struggles, we explore what happens when profit meets passion.Discover:
  • Why Etsy's journey from craft fair to Wall Street left artisans feeling betrayed
  • How Tumblr's attempt to become "advertiser-friendly" led to a mass exodus
  • The ongoing battle between Reddit's moderators and corporate interests
  • The tricky balance between community values and commercial success
Plus, we tackle the eternal September effect and ask the burning question: is community building worth the risk, or are we all just playing with fire? Join us for a candid conversation about the hidden costs of community-driven business strategies and what happens when trust banks go bankrupt.🎯 Essential listening for entrepreneurs, community managers, and anyone wondering if "community-first" might actually mean "profits-last."
