We often like to frame our ideas as subversive or 'hated by society' - but how do we tell? My favorite test is, "can your idea be used to sell a product?" If advertisers would use your concept or advertise alongside it, then your idea isn't subversive.

Also, Reddit refuses to let me run ads for Askhole.io, which I guess officially designates it as subversive. The bar to hit subversiveness is a lot lower than I thought.

Aella, is there a way to get Askhole in the EU without the $20+ for shipping?

Order 5 or more, i believe. Free international shipping for orders over 100$. Sorry about the shipping cost for smaller amounts, we're trying to lower it but it'll be a while.

Really cool idea. Scary but awesome.

Have you tried Facebook ads, or Google AdWords? You need to write some good as copy to pull people in. Also, places like cafes and bars might be a good market, the first time I saw cards against humanity was at a bar in Boston

In your case they might just consider it a potential competitor.
