A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I have to wonder if it's a solution looking for a problem or a matter of people trying to just throw stuff at a wall and see what sticks.
I think it also probably has to do with the sheer number of people trying to create something that every one of them has to learn that just because something exists, doesn't mean you have to use it. They end up just building it hoping that people will come to use it, but sometimes you gotta learn the hard way that it isn't always the case.
Pretty sure the first guy trying to pitch money faced an uphill battle. But at least it was tangible.
