the one thing that people don't understand about a lot of the apps that we know and love is they are places other people are putting their content into that make the apps better and then we are happily contributing our content our energy into those apps to make it better for us and for other users and that is something I don't think AI apps have done yet.
Community and brand are the moats AI cannot replicate — users investing content in your app compounds over time
Crowley identifies user-generated community as the defensibility layer AI platforms currently lack. When users invest data, achievements, and social graph into an app, switching costs compound over time. ChatGPT can simulate a running coach; it cannot replicate four years of your training log, your run club connections, or the badges earned inside Strava. Community-building is a strategic moat worth designing for deliberately.
A lot of that material is inside the app so I think where people go into the community more and more and some of them just eventually get sick and tired of seeing the share cards and not being involved in the app — they're like I might as well use the app because I'm not in the cool club.
Give Away Value Outside the App — Community FOMO Converts Non-Subscribers Passively
None to Run makes most of its content freely available outside the app (PDFs, audio files, blog posts), while locking only the structured in-app workout experience. Community members who see subscribers sharing run stats and progress cards in the group naturally develop FOMO and convert — without any explicit sales pitch. Giving away the 'what' and selling access to the 'how' is a freemium model that doesn't require touching the app's onboarding.
There's a play for whatever you're stuck on.
