I had a brilliant idea for a app during college. It connected self-identified lonely nerds with other self-identified lonely nerds. Like “Oh you like anime, here is this other guy, and here are five events you can attend together.” I was hoping for that Zuckerberg money if this app was a hit.
I ran it through a test trial with a dozen pairings of them in my college campus to see if it had value.
And yeah, a lot of the feedback was that the other person was kind of annoying/intolerable. Which was funny when both of them said that about each other.
Last time I told a guy who messaged me daily on Discord that he was being real clingy and it made it hard to be friends with him, he threatened to find my house and “prove me wrong”.
They have no friends, very limited social skills, and have a lot of free time to be toxic. Dangerous combination.

You created reddit.
Hence the lack of profit
Accurate. I found my idea was just recreating reddit mod meetups.
We don’t really get scolded for bad behavior anymore, we just have people go “Okay, bye” for the last time. Especially progressives do this.
