I disagree. I don't consider "ideas" to be elevator pitches about projects. I consider "ideas" to be fundamental insights about markets or software or technology, and there is a huge market for this, whether that's consulting or a product business or a hybrid.

Just because people don't get paid to glibly shoot their mouthes off (usually), doesn't mean there is no meaningful market for ideas.

People I know in consulting don't get paid for their ideas. They get paid for their results and their experience in tackling certain types of problems.

Fundamentally, the ideas don't stand on their own. Their backed by a name institution that delivers results on the ideas.

Ideas are nice, but they're a dime a dozen.
