Not quite the same thing, but it is really fun putting together a fresh build on pcpartpicker whenever a new hardware generation comes out just to think about.

Probably a big unexplored space for videogames with this type of concept

Casinos especially. Although it's hard to avoid the fact that gamblers like the real stakes.

Stopping for even 1 sec would cost the shareholders a lot. Why does nobody care about the shareholders...

Consumerism and materialism really do hold a grasp on the mind for many. Can recount several people I know personally who make really dang good money, far better than I, but spend it all on so much unnecessary bullcrap that they wind up struggling financially.

Wait til these sites are filled with real ads and/or expect you to pay real money in order to sign up and use them.
