Logically yes, but this one is very misleading to say the least and i am very interested to know how Allen validates any of those claims

Check out the about page on the site. I don't validate claims. If something is conspicuously suspicious then I'll push back on it, otherwise I don't.

You should treat these pieces as interviews rather than investigative journalism. Take the numbers with a grain of salt, and do additional sleuthing on your own if you want to make serious financial decisions based on an interviewee's claims.

Thanks for pitching in Allen. As i mentioned i am a keen follower of your work, however in this case i really do feel that story doesnt deserve to be on indiehackers (not just the numbers but the validity of the story itself seems far fetched).

P.s i dont have anything against lightingshoes per se.

Thanks again for your explanation.

What is it you find suspicious about the story? Feel free to ask the interviewee directly in the comments.
