@Pud can undeniably build products that are laser focused and useful.<p>And his minimalist approach to company building is epic and I am a fan.<p>But it's sort of disingenuous to play David Vs. Goliath here like his line about launching:<p>"I figured only a small number of smart people would somehow find us among the masses."<p>He's just like the rest of us - just build a great product and be lean guys!<p>But oh wait he launched DistroKid on the back of the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of registered musicians already using his other site - Fandalism - founded years before.(1)<p>EDIT - why I am a fan of pud is in the children to this comment he brings a data-gun to a knife fight and sorts out my impression w some facts.<p>(1) <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2012/04/06/philip-kaplan-fandalism/" rel="nofollow">https://techcrunch.com/2012/04/06/philip-kaplan-fandalism/</a>
