I wish that I wasn't plagued by these pesky ethics. It seems like if you are fine taking money by creating solutions to non-problems for suckers and rubes there are so many businesses and business models at your disposal.
I spend so much energy every week trying to create real value for customers; meanwhile someone is making money off of this. I conceive of scams like this all the time, but some part of me always keeps me from actually executing.

- quaintdev 5y agoI guess that's exactly the part which prevented so many of us from working on ideas like Facebook. And then someone, who is willing to bend ethics to get what they want, worked on that idea and messed up our world.

- jareklupinski 5y agoimo, good! that's empathy i try to convince everyone with a scammy idea to think twice, simply by asking how they would feel if someone else had tried that same scam on their mom/dad/grandparents, and what they would do to the scammer another trick is "how would your mother feel if she knew you make money by scamming", but thats a bit more pointed and reserved for actual friends since it can lead to a fight the few % who would actually scam their own mother, bless them. i'm just happy the total number of scammers to people is still <5% ish :)
