Good point. The commenter is (fairly) looking down on the specific category of get-rich-quick clowns, but there is an equally large number of "big idea" startup-bozos in the tech world. It's a similar delusion but articulated in a different way.
Still, the point remains. If your primary goal isn't filling a need or making something that people want, then you're less likely to be successful.
Every entrepreneur envisions profit at the end of the process, but it cannot be the primary goal of your company. Profits come from great products and services, so make a great product or service and the profits follow.
You also have to be prepared to work 60+ hour weeks for years, only making enough to get by, and still fail and lose money in the end. A lot of these get-rich-quick schemes claim that there is no work and little risk involved.
A labor-free, low-risk, high-profit career simply doesn't exist. You can pick two of those three things, but not all three.
