I don't understand this either. I'm currently doing "I made ___ in ___ months/years."
This is because
1. This idea has been done before and usually done poorly. (No, I'm not letting on with what I'm doing.)
2. It's a side project. I have a reading list I want to make a dent in and I have school to finish.
3. My audience isn't going anywhere. I have strong incentive to launch with an excellent website because there are plenty of other people in other communities.
4. It's not going to make money until it's large if it ever gets there. I'm in no hurry to support a monster community by myself.
