I can't find the link/specific site but before 2013 I was not into web development/didn't really use computers other than minor gaming. I was failing out of school and was trying to find an escape. I then stumbled on this figure of getting 100K page impressions a day adsense would equal $100K/yr. It's a little off now (less) but still. It drove me to make a lot of random crappy websites and I learned how websites work/LAMP stack. I didn't succeed in the goal of high traffic sites but I got into this field/ended up working out for me. I did fail out of school twice (as in 2.23 GPA) and never finished my phys-eng degree and at that time I was so stressed out like school was everything/I had debt piling up from loans, didn't know what I was going to do. Then this field pays you so much if you know what you're doing. Also lead me to the idea of entrepreneurship/trying to make some business like the stuff you'd see on Indie Hackers, this has not happened yet, I'm still an hourly Joe currently. Actually I remember one site in particular: http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com/ http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com/ where a guy made a million dollars by selling a million pixels of adspace. Similarly Peter Levels making $70K/month on his stuff... just things like this gave me the realization of an alternative life than what I thought to be "the way to success" at the time. I had some really stupid ideas though, like BeforeYouDoIdo or dn2d8 which was a dating site. Anyway also learned about external validation vs. self delusion regarding what some idea is actually worth.
