r/entrepreneur and r/webdev on reddit, but you have to weed through the crap.


I find the entrepreneur subreddit to be pretty terrible, honestly. My biggest problem is that to the less experienced, reading it can give you a false sense of being productive. Many years ago, I was reading it constantly because I was convinced one day I would find the secret to having a successful business.

However, it's overwhelmingly filled with people who have pretty low ambitions. It's mostly projects that are better suited for an etsy store than they are as a stand-alone startup. The ones with more ambition are usually something like "Uber for dogs" or "Facebook for dogs" and lack any real possibility of ever becoming a meaningful product.


I totally agree, but occasionally there are posts that are worthwhile. Some people have done great write ups about how they've scaled their small businesses to a point where they make a living, but like I said... have to weed through a lot of junk to see something good.
