    How much money would you be making if people just listened to you?

    I remember back in 2009/2010 when there was just clips4sale when it came to sites selling individual video clips, I met with a big time investor in Hollywood Hills about getting a site going similar to clips4sale but with actual pictures, GIFs, etc on the front page.

    He was all ready to do it and I had a BADASS domain picked out for it and then he was SO turned off by "fart fetish" and thought it was "weird". That's all he fucking talked about. OKAY DUMBASS you don't want to make hundreds of thousands of dollars a month because a bunch of losers on the internet have a fart fetish?!! Jesus fucking christ I was so pissed off...then along came kinkbomb.com and iwantclips.com...basically what I fucking envisioned years ago! Unbelievable!

      i once talked to an investor with a turtleneck who had alot of money about a new concept: What if we create minimalistic sleek looking laptops and smartphones, using the same parts as all other pcs and smartphones... but sell them for 3 times more than the competition just because of clever branding.

      He said "no customer is that stupid and pretentious" and left.

      A couple of years later i saw the guy, still in that same turtleneck, on TV presenting the launch of my idea. Asshole.

              It is quite interesting to me when I see people with mad-cash who are ass-hats on how to invest into something new. They'll spend $25,000 on a watch like nobody's business, but then shy away from the same investment on something that is obviously a money maker.

              It is like the guy who will drop $20 into a slot or $200 on a blackjack table without a thought, but then shit themselves over an $8.99 Wi-Fi upgrade if there is a free option at the hotel.

                      Are you trying to say "cue Shap"? Because "que" is the Spanish for "what?". You might have been thinking about the word "queue" which is pronounced the same way but means a group or a line up of something like in "it is in the queue".

                      Maybe your MIT educated, greatest philosopher alive brain just got too full or something?

                          So, why would you have not continued to shop the idea after that? Or figure out a way to do it yourself either by not needing so much cash or by raising the cash.

                          Surely your MIT educated, greatest philosopher alive mind couldn't manage that?

                          Why depend on other people buying into your idea in order for YOU to make money?

                          In answer to your question "How much money would you be making if people just listened to you?", I say, "A whole lot less money then if I had only listened to myself?".

                              I hate trying to convince people when it comes to making big money...there was no one else to turn to

                              After learning how much these sites make I am now sick to my stomach

                                  As I said, with the intellect you brag about you should have been able to find a way to do it yourself.

                                      Not a chance, with something like that you need some serious $$$ and a team

                                          Use you own money and prove that the idea can work -- then look for venture capital.
