While talking girls into posing naked for cash.
It was expensive too. I remember spending $500 on a single hard drive - and getting a free "zipp drive" along with it.
These days... People who couldn't program the time on their VCR twenty years ago can build a website on their cell phone with little effort.
It's gotten too easy.

thousand years ago they had a medicine man
later there have been doctors that studied medicine
now you have specialists for ears, heart, bones etc...and even they need other specialists to handle the equipment or invent new and more powerful equipment.
every biz that is promising profits will be sooner or later occupied by specialists and while they compete with each other they will come up with new technologies that need new optimizations.
amateur biz can be handled by amateur because they calculate far before the comma. professionals count far after the comma and make the profits with mass.
