One of my least favorite responses that comes from the founder/builder crowd is exactly what you just said about meeting any type of critique, no matter how constructive, with that response.
"Don't like it? Build you own. Let the market decide."
It is not only dismissive, but severely understates how difficult it is to create a successful and sustainable product. Not everyone here lives in Silicon Valley and can call six people in their phone contacts for funding any time a random idea pops into their head. Not everyone is capable of creating an entire competing platform from scratch either.
Also, the market is full of degenerates. The market makes terrible decisions on behalf of our industry all the time. For example, saying Pumpfun was good for the industry simply because it made money and telling people to go spin up more launchers as a response to not liking Pumpfun is missing the forest for the trees.
