yes, i launched a site that did some pretty cool stuff with photos, but i mis-read the customer, they are too lazy to do anything with them, they expect the cloud to automajically suck up whatever drivel they capture, waste untold amounts of diskspace saving it, and that the world will beat a path to their door for it - take a hard look at your customer - make sure they are willing to do their part in your value proposition

What an incredibly self-centered way to think about your failure.
Sounds like you not only misread your customers but are hostile towards them as well. Never a recipe for success.

You were probably sitting on gold and your bad attitude killed the business. They were too lazy? Should have figured out what was causing them to not want to put in the effort and then added a feature to your project that eased that pain point of theirs, either through automation or some other solution..
