They think their "idea" is novel
It's usually either a dead on tested and competitive entire market or somekind of worthless unmonetizable products.
Either "paper towel but soft and without the center part" or "chewing gum for the next week after being in space for astraunauts".
Either someone that can't for the love of god even use google or someone that somehow believe a niche missing competition might just never be because it doesn't exist to begin with.
Sharing the idea is against the rules for wantrepreneurs because they now have to act, they know that real entrepreneurs will mock them for how little they even know about their own hypothetical market and product.
They are usually less knowledgeable about their "own market" than a rando entrepreneur in a completely unrelated field.
Most people that think their unique ideas have any worth are usually at the "peak of mount stupid" of the Dunning-Kruger curve.
You are asking to the incorrect people
For everyone: this is an example of invalid market research
You can't ask reddit active commenters something and expect anything useful comes out of it. It's like if youtube asked people what kind of ads they liked.
The whole process is flawed because you first get an interaction bias: Only people that actually comment will respond to you (like me), it'll skew so much the outcome that you'll be led to belive false things
Then you get the kindness (or not) bias: where people try to be nice to you vastly over stating their actual response should you try to expose them to your product
You need to ask *sales* reddit, that's the correct spot. Either that or run A/B tests yourself until you start getting better results.
They are big for wantrepreneurs, for that group it's MASSIVE
The most valuable asset in a company are its customers and its money
You have neither of those
You have Zero ressources
You clearly lack skillset to develop the product you ought to build
You have no idea about how to acquire customers
You are THE useless part in your own hypothetical team
Ideas are like rock bottom USELESS, you'll get a big mac (or a pizza) for it at most
Don't go around thinking that an idea might warrant you even more than 10$. GET THIS OUT OF YOUR MIND
Any person who is an actual entrepreneur will LAUGTH at you if you go on saying those kind of statements
Any wantrepreneur will be delighted to speak with your vapeless words, you'll become best friends and still won't build a damn thing together because you like pretending not doing.
No real SaaS has their acquisition in listings, it's like the annoying thing you have to pretend you are doing for public image. I have a 5M-10M yearly SaaS and I don't care, I know many other founders and they also don't care. You don't reach a good scale working with peanuts and bananas, that what's monkeys do.
Now that comment aside
-----------
0$ for the competitor listing lists no purpose for any company smaller than unicorn level
- Similar web exists and works just fine for useless research / ego research
- Google Ads allows me to see who is *actually* bidding on the same keywords as me on the same markets, a precise list with numbers. No need to guess
- I don't care about competition I'm not Google facing Facebook. My company is no-one, whatever I lose isn't because someone took it, it's because we failed to deliver.
------------
0$ for the list of "reviewers" that are actually just affiliate guys getting paid to show a product, it doesn't work for 99% of the businesses, I won't pay someone to list me ways to lose money.
-----------
I'm paying a PR employee that manages online presence and response/post including social media, review sites and other externally public communications, it's quite cheap so around 1k$ per month.
This person/agency might want to use tools to speedup or help work, at most we could pay 100$ monthly for couple critical tools.
----------
Constructive outcome:
If you tool allows the PR and social media guy of a company to work faster, listing all new review (especially bad ones), new post, answers, where you are tagger etc...
A tool to ensure correct converage of the online presence aspects to those then *yeah* it fits a purpose.
Companies owners likes to talk about competitors but they don't care about them at the end of the day, there are more important things to be done and those are the things that drive the business forward.

You won't ever make anything "entrepreneuring" if you don't entrepreneur,
There are like 1000000 things you need to be able to do properly, if you keep waiting until you are confortable with 1 thing before moving on to the next, you can go on for your whole life without ever launching. Most people are stuck there, waiting for whatever misterious things.
When you need to master a thousand things you can't expect in any reasonable way to master all of them before starting. You need to learn the minimum acceptable proficiency at those skills while doing your business and improve skills that are holding you back continuously. You build upon that, you don't master useless skills, you don't master skills that are "useful" but aren't brining any value to you. You certaintly don't spend your most valuable asset : time not bringing any value to you.
bla bla, learning isn't wasted time, bla bla ... Then why aren't phd in economy or business not the most successful people on earth ? because it's worthless to learn/master a skill without any way to use your skills, you'd rather learn the skill "create more opportunities" so that you lack of every other skills is compensated by the "other opportunities"
The most valuable skill of entrepreneurship is either resilience or "opportunity finder", be either staying alive or always finding life. Those are skills that you only learn through practical means. If you have any of those you are probably already a successful entrepreneur.
