Protecting your idea

I saw this question posted a few years ago with very little in terms of helpful answers.

If you have a new idea and you want to protect it how do you do so while searching for someone to build the site? Sharing the idea to understand if they can build it based on your needs but not risking that idea getting stolen?

I've seen the same answer, it's just an idea until it's implemented... exactly why we're here looking for someone to implement how do we know there aren't just poachers here looking to steal ideas? I live in the real world, where people make a living off stealing other peoples ideas, work, etc.
