The vast majority of products that people don't understand and believe to be useless are in fact useless.
The first time I used Google I knew it was amazing and never used altavista again. When Facebook came to my campus it spread like wildfire.
These stories are quite interesting but at the same time what are they suggesting? An investor wants you to spend your whole life chasing a dream because they don't care if it fails and get paid if it succeeds. If you love doing something, do it regardless of what people think. But don't let an investor convince you to waste years working on something that nobody wants because that is what all successful entrepreneurs do. In a few cases it works out but the vast majority of the time it doesn't.
