You can't know for certain if an idea is good ahead of time. You can identify some bad ideas that look good with a little research, but the only sure way to tell is to do the thing. Hell even if it is a good idea they might just fail to execute it properly. I wonder if they're just too risk averse. Looking for a sure thing when there's no such thing.
- icebraining 9y agoFor me, I wouldn't say it's looking for a sure thing, but feeling like I'm probably wasting my time. Like you said, one can easily come up with dozens, possibly hundreds of ideas. Chances are most are duds. Without any good way of ranking them, what are the chances you'll hit on a good one? Doing this kind of "idea lottery" just sounds like a recipe for frustration.
