My startup went viral on X and LinkedIn, revenue spiked to $11K a month, and then the churn hit harder than the growth felt good.
Yorby crossed $100K ARR, I posted about it, and overnight we went from $8K to $11.5K a month. Then the churn caught up with us and we settled back at $9.3K. This is the honest story of what actually happened, what going viral does and doesn't fix, and why 60K impressions on X and LinkedIn drove more paid conversions than Instagram videos with millions of views.
