After I left Stack Overflow in 2012, people would sometimes ask me for advice. I must know what I'm doing, since I was successful, right? Well, I don't know about that… but I do know that the best way to succeed in what you're doing is not to ask some fancy "expert" like me, but to ask your customers, your fans, your users, your patrons, your .. own community!
Huh... Must have missed that one.
His intentions there kind of petered out when he figured out that the community didn't have money like "high-value businesses" do.
