I'm not sure making people click "yes" or "no" does anything to confirm an idea, by which I suppose you mean validating a hypothesis for an MVP?

I have similar reservations. The customer doesn't always know what they want. However, would you agree people often can predict how they will behave if accurately presented with a product? To spend 15 minutes to put an idea and a question out there, it could yield quality results for accessing a direction. Especially if A/B testing a screenshot or elevator pitch.

I think Kickstarter or other crowdfunding platforms, where people vote with their wallets, would be a better way to validate an idea.

You are right. But Kickstarters take money and time to do well.

This allows quick ideas to be tested.

The "Yes" and "No" buttons are mailto links?! If you're going to go that route, at least add a subject in the links that differentiate between which button was pressed.
