uh... let me get this straight: live cam porn? what the fuck. what sort of "idea" is that? are you a pervert or something? or do you just have no respect for women maybe? do you have experience interacting with normal human beings?

Porn is a billion dollar industry. He's just giving people what they want - he has no control over WHAT they want.

Not anymore... the porn industry has been in a huge decline in recent years

Way to over-react. Oh no PORN! Save the children!

I'm willing to bet he was a little horny and/or lonely while writing this.

And while I think few if any are actually good ideas, you have to respect someone for posting their brainstormings publicly. Yet HNers will tear through and criticize each one like he was pitching them for funding.

It's a bad idea to take a startup idea from this list and attempt to make a company out of it. You have to find something you're passionate about or something you want to fix. I seem to come up with ideas daily which was somewhat of a problem but when I wanted to work on my second company I wasn't sure what to do and tried to brainstorm ideas, this eventually failed but I did come up with an idea I'm passionate about…

Two things.

1) Well firstly you dont need to be passionate about something very specific. For example you can be passionate about making great websites that people love to use and thats it. Edison was passionate about inventing things (apparently also patenting them) for example.

2) I think brainstorming to think about what ideas you're passionate about is a great logical misstep( which I am also guilty of in the past). Rather, think about the things that people need and are willing to pay for and maybe ask yourself if you are really impassionate enough to not get into that market/business. (Ex: CRM Software is a booming market, yet I am too impassionate about that market to even consider getting into it.)

? why so shocked? These sites already exist, and they not only cater to "perverts" with "no respect" for women. Either that or you'll be sad to realize that most people are, in your eyes, perverts who have no respect for women.

if you don't see the presence of this "idea" on this guy's list as at least a little off, and the tacit approval of HN readers as doubly off, i don't know what to say.

Do you consider women idiots who can't decide for themselves whether they want to accept such job or not? Respecting women is about respecting their decisions, not about treating them like children that you need to protect from themselves.

And no, I don't enjoy or watch cam porn.
