    It should be in your bank account instead of the pockets of investors that do 0 work and generate 0 value

      Ok… but then why would they pay to have it done in the first place?

      I’ve solved issues that have saved transit riders hundreds of thousands of hours of time… but so have other people. I don’t know how such an accounting of the return for investment I made would work.

      When my solutions stop working as well, due to misc design/need drift, how do we decide how much I lose and the next me gets?.

      If investors do 0 work and generate 0 value, why are they included at all?

      Writers and actors should cut out investors and make their content independently. If they need money, they could borrow some under the condition that they share the profits if their content makes money. Wait a second…
