All MVPs have to do is successfully collect information to validate or invalidate your idea.

The information that provides this validated learning is a show of interest or commitment. The easiest way to make users demonstrate that is with a buy button. Other forms and surveys may work as well, depending on your product. But as long as your MVP can do measure interest, congratulations! You’ve made something (minimally) viable.
