I've been in contact with a few personalities that in most situations slam the door in your face if you're just some guy off the streets. Just getting a foot in the door to explain a few key ingredients to people who have grown accustomed to simply making something, dropping it, getting paid; it's nearly impossible. Then when you finally get in, they only see the surface. A small amount of money for each individual unit is all they see. Eliminating the middleman completely then sharing those profits with the actual consumers instead is such a foreign concept to most people that they'll write it off as fantasy before you sit down and explain the details.
So I don't push.
I have a feeling things will play out like they did with something like Youtube. Early on, the creators were mocked by established personalities. "Just amateurs having fun. That platform will never go anywhere."
But then those amateurs were making millions and guess who comes knocking.
Now Youtube is overrun with established personalities and there's no real place for the innovative amateurs who — more often than not — play the most important role in these things, since they're always the ones who get the ball rolling. No real place until one looks in our direction, here, maybe, if they see it, and it clicks.
