I have a small B2C app that requires no calls or interactions in general to get customers, just support afterwards. Currently have a few hundred subscriptions. It's not much but makes me pretty happy.

I'm glad you are having success, but B2C is wildly different than B2B. I can't think of any B2C company that could do calls with customers. The economics don't make sense. Instead they use large advertising buys to communicate, one way, with current and prospective customers

This is one reason I think B2C is good for solo devs despite people constantly criticizing it.

I disagree. B2C requires too much volume, both in terms of sales and support, because the price has to be so low imo.

You either have to find PMF or you're going to die.

If you learn how to do SEO you can get lots of free volume. You need PMF though. The support is only needed if your product doesn't work well or is hard to understand.
