What's a business that when you first heard it, thought it was the dumbest idea in the world, and it turned out to be hugely successful? (alien.top)

Airbnb sounded like a horrible idea to me. Who the heck would rent out a single room? Sounded like a recipe for murder.

Onlyfans pages.

Some people make a living on there but the average earnings is $150. I’d guess 95% earn less than a McDonald’s burger flipper based on the earnings distributions… the ones successful would mostly be people who already have a large following to monetize like celebrities

Still makes it a horrible idea for a “career” for the average person considering the odds of success coupled with the potential consequences.

I know several OF girls, the worst performer still makes $100,000 a year, the best one over a million. I guess it pays better to be in a really specific niche.
