_xhok on Jan 20, 2013 | parent | context | favorite | on: Mega will only succeed if developers take the fall

Be warned: there are only three types of businesses you can build on Mega’s API:
- ones that nobody cares about
- ones that become features
- ones that will destroy your life

It’s basically just like Twitter and every other platform that rose or fell before them, but with prison sentences.

Can someone please explain what this means?

He means one of these three things:

- No one will use your app and you will fail.

- Your app will be great, Mega will take the idea and build it into the service and you will fail.

- Your app is made to promote piracy using the Mega API and you will go to jail.

Not sure I agree but I figure that's what he means.
