Why user feedback quietly breaks as your product starts growing

Something I didn’t expect as a founder: feedback doesn’t disappear — it fragments.

Early on, users reply to emails.
Then it moves to DMs, support tickets, Slack messages, random calls.
By the time you have traction, the signal is everywhere and nowhere.

The hardest part isn’t collecting feedback — it’s not missing the important stuff when velocity increases.

Curious how others here keep feedback actionable without adding more tools or process overhead.
