Few lessons I can draw from here. This is another case of if something is too-good-to-be-true (make millions with little or no capital investment up front), it is indeed too-good. If there's a low barrier to entry, you can bet the competition will grow fierce very quickly. We have a huge player at top that is collecting most of the benefits while the much smaller players (more and more) below are competing for ever smaller slice of the pie. And the slice was quite small to begin with, because there were thousands and thousands of fellow coders who were doing the same thing you were doing. Lock-in is bad. As a consumer. And also as a vendor.
