You're gonna insult me now? I'm a kid in fantasy land and you're the grown up dealing with the harsh world? Lol. You just admitted that irrelevance is your only leverage.
I'm fine with what my side project is and it's scope. It's secondarily a tech demonstration for the bigger thing that comes later. If that means the early stage is only viewed by 2000 people and improved the lives of some election nerds for no monetary gain plus a news article after submissions close, good, the plan is on track. I'm not trying to be big in this project.
