the guy with the youtube extension idea is literally something that youtube should do but they dont because they recommend all the wrong content

[@xXxShankersxXx]

his extension had no possible way to make money besides SELLING reconmended channels, meaning any company could pay big $$$ for that top spot and fuck over small creators even more, this dudes extension is garbage, also it wont keep the youtube video open if you change page or reload so its litterally useless. it would be better as an open source to allow user upgradability and keep big business out of it.

yes it is a good idea, but the only way to get money was probably donations but other than that it seems like he is on the right path to becoming a web/software dev at least

[@Alynis_]

I really enjoy this concept but I would like to see it either with just Reckful or have guests who really do know about business enough to recognize an invest-able opportunity. With a recurring format it would also give people time to prepare a pitch as well as find guests who are coming for that purpose. Love it though, shark tank is one of my favorite shows and seeing it without the reality TV coat of paint is nice.

[@Hooplaa]

Austin Woodruff pretty much my criticism as well. Neither of them know enough about business (seemingly) to recognize an investable opportunity. I think having guest with better knowledge would be great.

[@gasbaroni]

Pokimane is such a Pepega. She talks as if she knows what she's talking about, but in reality she's just clueless. The ruthless businesswoman meme has gone to her head.

[@nilspeters643]

Fucking spot on my guy

[@Tocinos]

Yeah i think she should really stick to posting youtube videos twitter posts

[@Traivlin]

Yeah, to some degree. She has mostly no experience investing. I think some of the things she said made a lot of sense, like a concept is best explained in a simple way. People overcomplicate, maybe to sound more professional, and lose the people they're selling to. Shows no empathy. Reckful needs to understand the practicality and likelihood of return in his investment, Poki needs a presentation that captures her emotionally.

[@catux8103]

I am not trying to be a simp, but pokimane most likely did this because reckful wanted to do it with her. She doesn't have the experience with these types of situations so its seems kind of weird to call someone retarded because of that. Chill out and get your own life.

[@Traivlin]

@@GmDiscoveryful I don't dislike her, nor did I shit on her. Everyone is initially Pepega in areas they have little experience in.

[@dma98]

FYI: Byron, the way you left after the guy came and said he is a big fan of you and clearly didn't really care about Poki, was really rude.

[@iceblock4122]

Yeah, I don't know why he did that. He said he was a big fan and to have Reckful just say "I'm out" without any reason, and to leave before hearing the entire pitch is just so out of the blue and disrespectful...

[@Polyrthyawhut]

Why else? Because Byron is a piece of shit. Nothing new.

[@mikedang3613]

Poki was very interested in how to get that guy's wood.

[@ianjohnson4708]

"Dude this guy fucks, this guy fucks" LMAO. RIP Byron

[@CombobreakerDe]

I like the arcade stick idea. Even if there are sticks for 20$ from china, I don't think the price should be the selling point, but the wood. A quick search on amazon doesn't bring up any wooden ones, just cheap looking plastic stuff. And if he can get better looking wood, make it look better and still sell them for 80-100 bucks, I think he could get some customers. Especially because each stick is handcrafted and unique. Also he could show how it's done and sell DIY kits (just the parts and pre-cut wood) and assembled ones. I think this could work out.

[@Mell0wY3ll0w]

The prices were way off. Theres no way hes making them in a 1/2 hour. He will last a day or two at 5 hours. Assemble time is short but prepping the wood would take hours on hours.

[@tiffanylastinger3925]

Also to add the wood can be stained to look better and the wood is better overall from an environmental standpoint

[@kevkong]

The format is cool, here is an idea how to improve: Include audience by giving people the chance to challenge the idea presented. I myself for example build some arcade sticks and know a thing or two about the topic. It seemed like you both did not know too much about the product and I sat here with at least 5 additional questions to challenge his idea. You could even turn people who are good challengers, because of expertise, knowledge and capability to communicate into regulars for certain topics. Would love to watch the show. One person pitching, two to three people challenging the product and two people judging from a business standpoint and have the final decision.

[@_nilleke_]

I enjoyed the type of content but people need more time to prepare and proof of concepts/prototypes definitely help. The 2nd guy didn't need 10k for the idea he pitched but it can be used for researching similar but better ideas. But he definitely should look into making DIY kits where people don't have to drill or solder themselves. Then make a website where people can pick the different parts (like colors of buttons, grips for the stick, etc). Chat is right when they say there is a lot of competition (even cheap ones) that have better finished products. *But something that is missing on the market is controllers for people with a disability (they need bigger controls and different layouts). Recently there was a news articles about a dad that made a Nintendo switch controller for his daughter with a disability to play Zelda BotW. Several console manufacturers showed interest so they might make one themselves but for people with a disability there often is no one-controller-fits-all. A system to customize the controller layout yourself (different sizes of controller boards where you snap in buttons) would benefit both gamers with a disability and gamers who like customization (custom painting, custom 3d printed shapes, etc).* The 3rd guy: Firefox already has Picture-in-Picture mode built into the browser (always top layer and no need to be focused on that browser tab). I use it for both KZbin and Twitch. Making his extension kinda pointless (in it's current state it does less than the builtin feature). Besides the builtin feature there are hundreds of similar extensions that work on both desktop and mobile. Both Twitch and KZbin also have both email, app and browser notifications. It's really easy for websites to implement browser notifications.

[@_nilleke_]

The 1st guy clearly hasn't heard about Microsoft Teams that replaced Skype and integrates OneDrive, Sharepoint and office365. But there are also several alternatives both hosted online or self-hosted.

[@loj114]

The problem with the 2nd guy is that he never did a finished product only a demo, and im not sure about how big the market is for hit boxes. if on the other hand your doing custom controllers which you can commission custom art or make them custom per user then you can get more out of each order.

[@xValorix]

Searching arcade sticks already gives a lot of results for $40 and this guy wants to sell it for 80 even though it looks way worse. I don't think this is going anywhere. The only people that are going to buy it are reckful viewers.

[@Eazy_Bruh]

yeah i agree. that 2nd kid should go for it... id buy a stick from him. i dont own one because they are so damn expensive...as they said LOL

[@GH3killer]

What about him?

[@matthewatkinson8667]

I think the kid who graduated university definitely could have been a better presenter.. but saying "I'm out" is a bit classless.. You need to remember if you come across this way to fans, people will stop wanting to even be on the show / won't think its worth it. So you need to think about how you react and respond to these people putting their ideas out in front of you. It is a two way street. You are being honoured by them to hear their pitch, and their being honoured by you to have the opportunity. So just keep that in mind.

[@jackmiddleton2080]

@@fkdkdkfkrkska48485 Because successful pre-seed companies exist? And they don't give 10k for 40%. From what I have seen VC and smart angel investors are like high interest payday loan granters, only instead of giving you money because you are near guaranteed to get a paycheck, they give you money because you are near guaranteed to make them more in the future. And shark tank is probably all fake but for what it is worth if you pay attention they rarely invest in anyone that hasn't already proven the business and is basically already successful. Reckful is investing in people because he is larping.
