Find a thing people already do and will want to do no matter what, insert yourself between them in a way that makes original ways of doing things not viable/hard/insecure. Then start charging rent on normal human behaviour.

ps. do not call yourself Uber of Sex.

Totally agree here. Let me give you an example: I was reading the WSJ paper last weekend and there was half page article dedicated to complaining how Yankees games are spread across 5 streaming services this year. There was a quote that literally said “Now I am going to have to figure out where to watch the Yankees every Saturday morning” or something to that effect. Maybe not an idea for you, but pay attention to these things. You have to be intaking lots of information about the world and observe carefully

To me that is part of an idea. You can build something to show what channel the Yankees are playing but how do you get enough people to reach a mass to start selling other products or advertising? That's the real problem you start tackling
