    Audio books are generally hours long, how would a YouTube experience be better than one offered by the likes of download services like audible?

    How would you fund such a service, paying for voice talent and royalties to publishers?

    I think you need to stop having these crazy get rich quick ideas, and start trying to build some of them. It's the only way to see if things will work?

    Also, remember, any good idea will have loads of criticism so it's not always good to listen to people either. If you think you have a good idea, then explore it, evolve it, get feedback, listen to some of it, and try and see if you can build it on a small scale.

    And maybe keep things to yourself? Not always a good plan to go shouting your business ideas to the world in general, and specifically at people in an industry your trying to break into.

    I think there's very few people in the world who'll actually do something about your ideas so it's not a huge risk. I'd say everyone has hundreds of ideas in their lifetime that could make them rich. It's the long hard hours of time & effort that turn that idea into a success though, not just having the idea. Talking about the idea can help generate buzz, help find investors or collaborators, and just generally give you good feedback. People who keep their ideas to themselves rarely do anything.
