Idea skepticism in a nutshell:
(1) Yeah but have you heard of X company that's doing it?
(2) What if Google/Amazon does it?
(3) I wouldn't personally use it
(4) Here's a history of everyone that failed (you will too)
(5) It's a crowded space already
Don't let it demoralize you.

Every founder who starts a new company goes through dealing with a set of these comments on their journey.
Rather than give-in & give up, I think it's more critical to validate whether there's a huge problem worth solving vs. validation through "what do you think" conversations.

Counters to idea skepticism:
(1) If it's so good, why aren't they massive yet?
(2) What if I focus on it & they don't?
(3) n=1
(4) Here's what's happened in the last 10 years to make it viable
(5) We're focused on solving X problem really, really well
