I came into this thread and expected to read encouraging and/or consoling comments, and instead all I see are people bashing the idea and its execution.
Of those bashing this business, how many of you have actually built something of your own, and of that group, how many of you have become successful doing it?
If you look hard enough, you can find flaws with any business concept. It's the entrepreneur's job to stay alive long enough to recognizing and fix those flaws. You don't fix them on day 1. Sometimes it takes years, even decades.
How about instead of tearing these guys apart for trying to build a business, we congratulate them for going all-in and paving the way for future entrepreneurs to get this concept right?
I agree for the most part.
But this kind of effort needs to be criticized. They made huge mistakes and they need to be pointed out so that others can learn and do it better on their attempts.
Their execution, (and the idea), frankly, were awful.
