Just out of curosity,

I am somewhat new to MC-Market although I have been reading many investment threads. If someone had the money to invest, what makes them not just steal the whole server's idea because 90% of it is on the investment thread?

High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

Maybe they'd rather not put in work into a server but rather just make profit by investing
They don't have to put that much work... They have the money thus they can pay the people. And if they have better marketing skills, some things can even be cheaper.

The whole investment section is disgusting. First off, they are loans not investments. Secondly, everyone is calculating the ROI wrongfully, promising 200%+ when in reality they are offering closer to a 100% interest rate. I would recommend to not loan any money to anyone in that section.

I mean i agree with you here. Often ROI isn't the way to go.... Its just how mcm seems to run (im sure some 15 year olds) started this shit. Normally you grant your investors a PART of your business. Usually ~12% depending on how much they invest. This usually is for X amount of years, or months, Sometimes permanent. This ROI stuff amazes me that people still do this kind of crap.

Some people actually use the money to make a great community.
My recommendation to not loan any money to users in that section was from a purely economic standpoint. In the actual world, a return over 20% in a few months time is unheard of. It's your own prerogative to loan money to whomever you want, however there is no sense of security in these loans, and the money earned is most likely illegal, as they are not a business, nor a non-profit but are accepting "Donations". I would be willing to bet that 90% of servers and their owners don't file any of their earnings to the IRS on a Schedule C. But, hey, if giving money to kids, and expecting unrealistic interest rates with 0 security on the loan, and expecting to get paid back with money earned illegally is benefiting the community, then go right ahead.
