Ex-Head of 1M-User AI Music Tool: Niche Audiences Are How You Win Algorithms
minhnguyen · x · 2026-11-15
A former operator of an AI music tool with 1 million users, who has worked with major studios, pushes back against the claim that appealing to a niche audience is wrong.
His core argument: targeting a single niche is exactly how you win on algorithmic platforms—high engagement rates quickly land you in the algorithm's recommendation basin; chasing a generic broad audience only produces mediocre "audience slop." A useful growth-strategy take for anyone building an AI music or content business.
