Your Thoughts on Putting Money into VTI?

Was told about the Vanguard Total Stock Market option for an investment. I need to read more on the subject, but I was intrigued by the idea of putting money into the overall stock market as opposed to just a few specific options.
Anyone with experience with this? Good idea? Bad idea?

VTI is awesome. Very low fees (.05%), and tracks a broad base of stocks.
If I was going to put money in one ETF, it would probably be VTI or SCHB, which is also broad based and low fees.

The amount of collective money in VTI and VTSMX from posters on this board is in the 8 figure range I bet.

Are you being sarcastic? I can never tell on this board....
So if I put in $1000 as a start and then made a payment each month (hopefully increasing over the years), that would be a valuable investment in addition to a Roth IRA?

Absolutely. But let it ride. It can be volatile.
And yes I am serious. Total market funds are great by themselves, but also make up a large percentage of target date funds. Add that to the fact that vanguard is well loved on this board and you get a large number.
