I don't see this to be a problem worth solving.

Some problems are problems but for a startup to succeed it needs to be a very important problem.

Having a unique insight is also not enough. It needs to be a highly leverageable insight or advantage. One that you can use in this startup; as you grow your leverage it will help you get users and revenue.

Neither seem true here. When that happens, the journey is a grind, you try to push hard but people don't seem interested.

how do I get motivated? well I have to believe there is a 'leverageable' insight or angle that will grow when I make progress ;) belief that it's a big problem people care about and that I am growing unfair advantage over time solving it.

I think it's important to highlight that this kind of advice isn't negative and it's well meaning. As engineers it can be easy to form a distortion field about what we're working on and the perception of those who might actually want (or not want) to actually buy it.

Being honest with yourself is the best way to be kind to yourself. Moving on is not giving up.
