I've seen a lot of people who don't want to share and talk about their ideas for fear of them being stolen. I've always believed that an idea without implementation is worth nothing. But maybe I'm wrong.
Tell me, have you ever had an idea stolen from you?
Did you really want to do it? Or do you realize now that you never would have made this app/business anyway?

Keep your ideas to yourself.

I have a few ideas that I think are worth some money.

There have been at least three that I did not act upon, but someone else did.

In 2007-2008, I was looking to open a business, preferably on the internet.

My first idea was for a dating site where women had to make the first move to contact the man.

The second idea was to create a site where people could post long form articles instead of the 250-word articles that were so popular back then.

The third idea was to have a site where models could post their images and videos, and people would pay to see the work of the individual models.

As you know,

The first is Bumble

The second is Medium

The third is OnlyFans/Patreon.

So yeah, keep your ideas to yourself.
