well, that's what i'm doing. idk if they have a winning strategy but they have deployed the resources and marketing is being done right now to bring users. the work i did depends on them getting users to reveal whether it works or not or what needs to be changed so it does.
i've mainly been a bit blue because of things going wrong that i probably should have organised to get fixed. like the kitchen tap that turns itself on to full if i don't close it tight and then open another tap. spent half an hour watering the garden and figured out that i also had that much water go down the drain without doing anything useful. and we are in release mode now, i don't have any secondary tasks and am just on call to squash any bugs that come up in my server. colleague who is doing devops and a part of the same initiative (matchmaking server, he is using a similarity evaluation library with python for his part) has been a bit troublesome and acting like he could be doing my job instead of me but not realising the amount of complexity that went into the less obvious parts (time schedule calculations, for one), and he's kinda got into this uppity aggressive vibe towards me for no reason.
so anyhow, i'm just a bit stressed because i'm not clocking hours because they don't need me to. my finances are ok but i am aiming to save for a migration in a year's time that will go better the more i can keep.
i'm sure there is more slots opening up for me to fit into in the near future, this current project will likely be in a small uptick for a while as features are refined and it is optimized, and then i will be moving to taking what i have built so far and adapting it to a second project that is similar but a different genre of content.
for me to build out something in a competitive market i need funds up front or investors to pay into the project, and i don't have the skills for this. i have the inventive capacity, but i haven't particularly spotted an obvious opportunity i am a fit for working on.
probably i need to rest, anyway, i haven't really had a holiday in 18 months
