Every idea I have has been done 5 times now. It doesn't help my only ideas are types of social media, and I'm ready to just give up because no one gives a fuck.Seriously though, is there any point in trying to become successful? I could just build stuff that makes me happy and I can feel proud of, instead of caring what others think and stress myself out with users.

>>107838014Make something that's not web-based.The web is extremely saturated.

>>107838509Well to elaborate, I think you should try programming more for the fun of it than to make something that will be used by others. Being a "good" software developer isn't something that neccessarily that makes you wealthy, it's more about riding trends and appealing to the masses.Make something challenging but within your skill level. Learn C or some other language that's closer to hardware. Or perhaps learn about old CPUs and write assembly.
>>107838014>Every idea I have has been done 5 times now.That means it's a good idea, as it has succeeded several times already.>It doesn't help my only ideas are types of social mediaSocial media has the chicken/egg problem. You need new users, but nobody is joining because the place is empty.>Seriously though, is there any point in trying to become successful?The system is rigged. You can work hard to become successful, and maybe you will be. Someone else can just go to the bank, get a pile of tax free income called a "loan" and just buy success.
>>107838014Is your idea to make some big multi million user application? Well of course it's going to be done to death. Big corpos have a monopoly on that sort of thing. Return to tradition with the old internet way of doing things, just make websites for things you like and for small communities you want to cultivate. Fuck mass appeal.
>>107838549I don't try to compete with big social media, but even a niche community is a PIA to moderate. Being a janny is a huge toll on mental health and anything I build must either be zero moderation effort or have an extremely high entry barrier to post. I already have some ideas but it's just so demotivating knowing a functional site won't get me a job/secure a good future because literally nobody gives a fuck! HR karens don't care what I learned and what I'm capable of
>>107838014If you want users, you'll have to target the audience of short form content. Under 1 minute, and jumping from one video to the next, minimal permanence with nothing being memorable, but the majority love it, so that seems to be the future.But if you don't want to moderate, then it'd be best to sell the tools and services of an opportunity, rather than deal with that headache yourself, assuming then that there are enough people with a vision out there to know what to do with your software tools.Regardless, finding success alone is near impossible, and working together with someone is a must.
>>107838169>degeneracyNah you just have bad taste.
>>107838808This sounds like a design problem more than anything When creating a community how exactly you structure it and design the environment people can interact with it is a big factor. Some communities basically run themselves, on the other hand an anonymous basket weaving forum such as this requires moderation because the format and culture allows and encourages people to do anything. Something like a niche fishing forum probably requires very little moderation because it doesn't attract the types of people who need to be moderated. Social media itself is a dead end, at least at scale, because there's no way to control who is going to be there
