I thought the products or services advertised were gone in a week. This is substantially less interesting.

Yeah the headline oversells it a bit. The part I actually found interesting was that 500+ point posts die just as fast as 50 point posts. HN's algorithm doesn't care how popular you are. Sections 4-6 have the more useful stuff if you're curious.

That's... exactly the insight? The speed of disappearance is what most builders underestimate.

The interesting part is in sections 4-6: what the survivors did differently. Happy to hear what would make it more useful to you.

Agreed, the content implied by the title but not delivered would be substantially more interesting, especially if compared to Product Hunt, or other places fraught with launch announcement of small solo dev projects.
