Listening demands much more of you than that.

and how do you tell the world about ideas? :)
Just like I am now.

By listening to someone else describe a problem that is important to them.

And then sharing my ideas which are relevant to the problem that they think is important.

Telling-the-world is talking-at people.

Anyway, you probably have more than one idea.

That is, you can only share ideas by replying to other people's posts, and if you write a post yourself, you don't listen and get banned. And then posts can only be with questions, did I hear you right?
Of course not.
then I don't understand, in 10 years I have interacted with more than 3000 startups, collected and analyzed their problems and offered a solution, how do I talk about it? any post of mine about it gets a ban, I get accused of promoting myself? what am I doing wrong?
