these are things people *say* they will pay for.

They're saying this on twitter for likes. It's different from what they or the org they work for actually thinks.

you're better off asking yourself, "would I pay for this" and being brutally honest.

Even this can be an over investment as it presumes potential customer find the landing page.

Pro tip: just go find the potential customers.

Too many sweats, if you do this but with crypto you don't need the last step of building the solution.

I'm a pretty miserly guy, a better question is "would someone I know pay for this"

THIS + 1.

I would go a step further. People kid themselves all the time. Even being brutally honest, I might say I would pay for something and bail at the last step, changing my mind. It's kinda like if you write a book and ask your friend to read it and they say "sure, I will!" and they never do.

thus brutally! I really mean brutally. If you think "ahhh, i might pay for that"... that's a definite no.

It needs to be "take my money now" energy.

Well I'd imagine some % of people that say this are serious, even if 10%, that's a significant signal
