Single viral essay as cold-start

Marko Saric's 'I quit Google Analytics' essay went viral on HN + privacy communities — Plausible's entire ARR ramp started with that one post.

The playbook

1
Pick a contrarian POV you can defend with data
'GA is bad for privacy AND bad for marketers' is contrarian. Marko backed it with concrete migration data.
2
Write the essay as the longest version of your pitch
If 'why us' takes 3K words, write 3K words. Don't compress for tweet-format.
3
Submit to HN + r/programming + r/sysadmin yourself
Don't ask for upvotes. Submit the actual post; let the title do the work.
4
Cross-link from every future blog post
Make the viral essay the SEO cluster's pillar. Internal links compound.
