Couldn't agree more. What many people fail to realize is that MVP is not about succeeding. It is about failing!

If most startups fail, and your idea is most likely to fail, the best way to find something that works is to fail, pivot, and fail again, until you get something people want.

The MVP entices this fail/pivot loop to happen as fast as possible.

And Scobble is right! If you are still on the failing phase, you shouldn't be seeking attention. Failing silently makes the whole experience less traumatic. And then we can move on to refraiming fail fast to learn fast.
