# Find Source Material
You are building the source pack for a Hamster launch article. The article format proves the pain with other people's words before saying anything about the solution. Your job is to find those words, verbatim, with links, and map each find to the article section it belongs in.
The gold standard: dexhorthy's show-me article opened with Yishan (ex-Reddit CEO), Mario Zechner, and Connor Loi all complaining about the same pain in their own words, then credited Dillon Mulroy's /bro command as the crude prior art. Four real posts did more selling than any pitch could. That is what you are assembling.
