    If SO can make a respectable amount from advertising, and then you spin off a whole bunch of clones with slightly different demographics which will attract their own advertisers, then suddenly you have a gold mine. Commented Feb 16, 2011 at 8:14

    @slugster Two years after your comment, does it feel even more true than when you said it? Commented Mar 13, 2013 at 14:51

    Jumping in: not for me. stackexchange.com/about That's a whole LOT of folk to "nurture" there per month. So much for the dreamers thinking Joel & Co. can afford big villas with the zillions of $$ they get as a revenue. E. g. 25 employees, $50k yearly average salary; there it goes, your $1.25 million. So telling from this purely theoretical math lesson, you're gonna need several million to have a good basis. And that's no overnight thing to achieve. Excellent management & hard work req'd. Continually. Commented Nov 3, 2014 at 23:40
