"Spare change" I like that.
BITCOINS DISTRIBUTED:
720.81BTC
It should be kept in mind that (currently) 162.76
BTC of that was distributed within the organization (to NastyMining) and 0.2
BTC of that was used as transaction fees.
It should also be kept in mind that there is almost 4
BTC not yet distributed throughout the organization, for whatever reason.
It should also be kept in mind that a large amount of that BTC figure was likely distributed within the early days of Bitcoin when a larger amount of Bitcoin was required to purchase a seat.
Now let's look at some practical examples of the huge amounts distributed by NastyFans.
This coin has had a seat associated with it since 2013.
It has so far earned around 0.004BTC from the NastyFans program.
This coin has been active for coming on a year,
earning the massive total of around 0.0003BTC in that time.
This coin has been active for over two years and has earned a total of around 0.0074
BTC. However, this coin has five seats directed towards it, meaning that it makes sense this coin has earned more.
This coin has earned around 0.0015BTC per seat on the coin.
You can see more examples
here. Keep in mind that any coin with a large amount of Bitcoin on it was likely funded through other means than NastyFans.
While I don't know how much these coins originally cost in BTC, I can almost guarantee that is significantly more than whatever they have earned + silver and minting costs is worth currently.
Your proposed project sounds a lot like what a YouTube content creator does, only they don't distribute anything back to supporters. I imagine if you went through with it, you could have some success if you had any talent or a well internally developed platform others could also use. Wasn't this what Friends of Satoshi was trying to accomplish?
A YouTube creator doesn't market its self as an investment platform. My scenario was also completely made up, in an attempt to show how absurd the notion of 'fun and coolness > profit' is for an investment platform.
Perhaps a better example would have been a gambling website that allows for investment. Such a website provides much more fun (whether it be through the gambling or interacting with others using a chat function), and most likely provides a much better ROI.
