It's still VERY much in development but I'm building a site that allows people to find TTRPG games that are suited to them AND includes a suite of tools for both GMs and players in said games.
Players will be able to showcase characters they're playing or have played and GMs can manage campaigns (scheduling, notes). I'm a D&D player but I'm trying to make it system-agnostic
The Knowledge Fight podcast covers this case in its entirety and it's clear that Infowars et al. has toed the line of criminal to delay and deny justice to the victims. The legal system hit the end of the road and said "everything owed to the victims or everything Infowars has" and this is the result.
"Problems" to solve IMO come down to basic human necessities:
- How do we get more people food for a lower cost? - How do we get more people shelter for a lower cost? - How do we make more people less sick for a lower cost?
Everything past that is basically a "luxury", AKA innovation for the sake of entertainment/discovery/challenge/socialization. Also, people tend to pay for entertainment/luxuries, whereas providing access to necessities for a lower cost doesn't have as high of a profit margin. Ergo, less reason to innovate.
I'm still in the testing phases of it, but a lot of people that I've talked to have said "Yes, I'd pay $1-3 to a site that I visit regularly if it didn't have ads"
