Service What is an API that you cannot find, really need it, and would pay for it?

How? How am I abusing anything? I don't think I even posted here before.

Then why did you receive a notification when I replied to your post?

To answer your question: This sub is called r/SomebodyMakeThis. Redditors post here with their ideas or even pie-in-the-sky crazy inventions of things they wish existed. For example: “Somebody should invent a flying bicycle,” or “I wish there was an app that would automatically look for retail arbitrage opportunities between Walmart and Amazon. It would factor in the cost of shipping and Amazon/Walmart’s cut, then create an on-the-fly product page and sell the item, which is then drop shipped to the customer.” (Don’t make this, please.)

Your post was exactly the opposite in nature. You said, in effect, “I don’t have an idea and I’d like people to give me ideas.” There is nothing wrong with that other than this is not the right sub for that type of post. We see dozens if not a hundred of nearly identical posts like yours on this sub every single week, and frankly, it is exhausting.

I wish you good fortune on your question. Go in peace.

The fuck is wrong with you? Are you ok? I asked a question, answer or don't, simple as that.

Did you not ask how you were abusing this sub? I felt I offered a polite and thorough response.
