8) People who calculate profit without factoring in what they paid themselves

7) “I have no revenue and no business experience. Where the angles at?”

6) “Hi, I’m Pat from starterstory with another interview with someone who will share their revenue numbers (meaningless), but not profit numbers. Enjoy this self promotion, which is normally banned, but allowed because the post is greater than 100,000 characters.”

5) “You should get into power washing”

4) Any genuine request for help by someone who’s actually put in time to establish a product or service is flagged as self-promotion and shut down, thereby removing users who are actively trying to seek help to build their business.

3) The number of people who believe that drop shipping (outside of drop shipping courses) is still viable for the average person

Edit: If this post gets at least 50 upvotes, I'll create a sub where people are welcome to talk about their products and the bullshit is cut down as much as possible. So tired of this shit. We need a place where we can talk strategy without interruption.

Edit 2: This post literally got 5 upvotes in 2 seconds. I've been checking. At least we agree on one thing around here :)

Edit 3: It's official! We're doing this. New community is /r/cutthebull Thanks guys. Today is my last day in this sub. Taking moderator applications from people who have a strong internal bullshit detector.

Edit 4: Going to bed guys. Thanks so much for your support. I'll have a look at your comments when I get up tomorrow.

Edit 5: The mods of this sub are a class act. Some have reached out to me to explain how I can best run the new sub. I no longer believe that they are the problem here. I was ignorant.
