## What Jamie wrote

I love how Livingston frames the act of building out a product and the "feel" you get with your user community.

> When you can find something that everyone else thinks is dumb but that a growing number of actual users love, this doesn’t just give you the strength to carry on, but is a sign that you could be onto something really big. That's my fourth point: the bigger the difference between conventional opinion of your idea and users' opinion of it, the more potential it probably has.

This is spot on.
