While most student platforms chase viral growth, spsnip.nl serves a hyper-niche: Dutch psychology students preparing for a professional future. This isn't a startup—it's an 80-year-old institution digitizing its legacy, generating $17.8M annually with just 99 employees. The real story isn't traffic; it's relevance.

"They aren't chasing scale—they're building a professional moat where every student becomes a paying member for life."

The tech stack reveals a pragmatic approach: Tailwind CSS, Bootstrap, and Swiper for a clean, functional UI. No over-engineered frameworks—just tools that work. Google Analytics and New Relic suggest they measure performance, not vanity metrics. The lack of structured data and minimal social presence isn't a weakness; it's a sign of a B2B2C model where the real transaction happens offline, through membership fees and events.

• Monetizes via professional membership, not ads or affiliate links
• Events (congresses, workshops) are the core product, not the blog
• Tech stack is lean—built for utility, not virality
• Deliberately low SEO footprint: students come via institutional channels
