    ITT: People misinterpreting the idea as “facts that your school taught wrong”, when it’s really saying, “things that have changed since you went to school” (either through a change in definition or by new research).

    E.g. If you went to school before the early 2000’s, you were taught that Pluto is a planet, while that is no longer true since it was recategorized in 2006.

      This is the wrong aporoach.

      You should build a mockup site, use it to raise 2M$ for the startup behind it you just created arguing you’re about to collect personal data about the age, education level and place, curiosity, etc. with overinflated numbers on their real values.

      Then you hire a bench of students, or better: launch a competition for the best “fact you were told that turned out wrong” with a 1k$ prize that you eventually give to some biz angel’s investrent adviser’s child.

      Once data are acquired, claim the company is now worth 10M$ and raise that much in a new round.

      Finally, sell the company for 20M$ either to a tech company that will enshitify, paywall and crater it.

      You still don’t have your website, but now you’re rich and you no longer care about these things.
