1. I don't know bit spammers are quite active
2. Because more is not better and we have pretty different goals -
YourMom4572d@Lensflare I don't know. Throwing out stupid ideas for the enterprise. Just seemed like a funny meme format.
This is why this is probably not a good idea. -
tamagotchi5224h1. Yes.
2. Well, it's more a lack of ideas to monetize than some other issues. I think I'm a bit pessimistic in online entrepreneurship because I'm not a big consumer myself. I only do most mainstream ais and YouTube premium, besides that, nothing. I can think of nothing that would make life better. It's good already. -
jestdotty586119h@tamagotchi I don't even do that
and i pirate everything or get it open source
other than food and rent and drugs and some physical lamps and cleaning products
people can't just whip up and write code but the thing is programmers notice problems others think of as problems so some exoteric thing ends up useful for mother programmers instead of normies
the other thing is turns out to sell anything useful to people you have to deal with the law and licensing. unless you're just gonna propagate some kind of knowledge like a school
like Netflix might have a shit interface but you can't compete because you can't pay 100 million for the rights to play a movie like they can
same thing with music streaming
so then you may as well just run an advertising blog for similar effects. or make popcorn time and be free. or rabbit.tc which allowed multiple people ina chatroom to all watch movies or YouTube together... but licensing, sigh -
jestdotty586119heven Google maps they put in the terms of agreement that you cannot cache their map results. how stupid is that? it's because they charge outrageously for map queries.

jestdotty586119hand then if you have stuff like open source weather data... well first off I don't even know where the API for it is even tho your tax money is paying for it. and there's already 500+ ad-infested weather apps using it. so I wanted to find the data so I can just not have ads but I have too much useless stuff that doesn't make money to do and I could never crack the money problem because everyone is trying to crack the money problem all the time I guess
but I don't mean to dishearten. I'd love to be made to feel stupid on this because the payoff would be great
best I got is using APIs someone exposed for purposes that don't align with their intentions and then I get something personally useful out of it 🤷, but legally I can't sell that and also everybody tries to shut me down all the time which is annoying. alas -
jestdotty586119hcould make a video game I guess
could make a music generator (and get no money even worse than the game thing)
1. How many active people do we have on this platform?
2. Why don't we do something together as it would grow quickly and all of us could retire in 3 months?
