Incentivizing pre-product-market-fit ruins the data
Akash Analysis - Incentives/Product Market Fit (Akash Network)
“You’re seeing quite a lot of platforms today that incentivize early behaviors before product market fit. Product market fit is a long and slow road — it’s really something that has no shortcuts… if you incentivize pre-product market fit, the data you’re going to get back is ruined… your incentives will eventually die, and once that happens you’re not going to be able to sustain growth.” — 00:00:42
