never add your own twist
When you copy an existing product exactly, you know it already appeals to customers. You don't have to waste time figuring out if people even want what you're selling. Just recreate what's proven to work before. Why risk failure by changing anything? Sticking as closely as possible to the market leader ensures you don't miss what made them popular in the first place. Adding your own "twist" is really just a risky gamble. What if customers don't like your new take? People just want more of the same shit, not the reinvention that "solves real problems." Problems are for original founders to tackle, not copycats like you and me!
