I can build anything with Claude but can't sell it: a builder's monetization struggle

A Reddit user says he's built many production-level creative tools with Claude and gotten love on Instagram/YouTube, but has earned nothing. He notes that while Claude accelerates coding, "sales is an open loop that can't be sped up" — even pocket-money-level projects aren't finding buyers. He asks whether other builders have found people willing to pay, highlighting the gap between building ability and distribution.
