This idea seems ridiculous. I really hope your main selling point is not the fact that your website will last forever.

Let's not even go into the fact that there's a high likelihood this project won't even take off considering the high amount of competition out there.

But there are tons of uncontrollable situations that you MIGHT run into, even if there's a 0.01% chance that it will happen.

- What if someone sues you and you go bankrupt?

- What if someone offers to buy you out for 1 billion dollars?

- What if (God forbid) one of the original founders passes away and the rest of the founders decide it's no longer worth it to keep it going?

- What if the founding team just realizes the project is no longer for them?

- What if after the founding team retires, the people that they pass it onto decide THEY don't want to keep going with it?

I'm just not buying it, and I feel like a lot of people will have the same skepticism.
