Yes indeed. Sadly, the chance of such an idea printing here is 1,000,000 -1. That multiplied by the chance of someone actually contributing is another 1,000,000-1.
Thus the chance of you seeing a check, 1,000,000^2
Come to think of it, I post million dollar ideas here and on twitter(since retired) and don't even get a thank you. A check? lol.
Lets face it, they're all either imbeciles or ingrates, or a combination of the two.
Good ideas are likely not obvious to others. Even if pointed out they would likely be not accepted. Good ideas are discovered before it is apparent to others. Once the masses are eating the middle out of the meat the move might likely be at ridiculous entry points, again not easily accepted or taken.
