It looks like this page is written in BULLSHIT, would you like me to translate?Hey prole, looks like you might be underemployed enough to take a swing at our "like Huffington Post but without the token promises of payment someday" business model. If you're interested in us monetizing your comments in exchange for the eventual promise of a month of Netflix, drop me a line! Sincerely, FakeName, Indian Sweatshop cubicle #4722
i do wonder if she specifically scans for posts made during midafternoon, just for that purpose the thing is, it's workable on their end. reddit etc have shown that tons of people are down with releasing (sometimes very intelligent) thoughts into the ether for free. give 'em a points system and it's already game over, but give 'em a shiny netflix subscription or a ten percent off coupon at the local craft brewery after three months and they're eating out of your hand (it's like reddit gold, guys!) oh my god, i didn't even read the part about the writing academy. awesome.
Not so much, though. There's a world of difference between "slut" and "whore" and that which you do for recognition is not the same as that which you do for money. Reputation-based communities lose.their.SHIT when they catch a ringer; money-based communities trade coin for credibility. Not only that, but as soon as you take money for something, you're giving up ownership. That's a Rubicon most people don't want to cross, even if they don't realize it until too late. Unfortunately, none of these johnny-come-lately startups understand this.
