Interestingly, I saw this play out during my Integromat days (now Make.com). Zapier also experienced something similar but it wasn't explosive like Clay's.

Yeah! That's a good example. The difference is the ecosystem of these consultants is so big for Clay. So there are soooo many (high quality) people creating content about Clay, for free. Pretty cool.

True! And that's something I didn't know before – had no idea so many outbound agencies existed!

Brendan, beyond identifying Clay's moat, which is undeniable and you explain it very well in the article. I wonder how Clay has managed it, because it offers something novel and exciting, is it because it has great potential by easily combining tables and data sources, is it because despite its potential, it is not obvious to use and requires additional explanation to bring out its full potential, is it because it is not obvious and requires additional explanation to bring out its full potential?
