​

Pros:
Study about... something... which supposedly has a bonus attached. If the bonus is paid out as promised, the rating of "Generous" is fair and holds. **Read instructions carefully**

Cons:
I suggest you read the instructions carefully before proceeding through the task for best results.

Never heard of it, don't think it's a work platform, seems like a weird job board / recruiter hybrid.. VC Indeed I guess? but I'll give it a scroll

*scrolls*

It's a SV/VC funded startup centered on "work" with at least one founding member who seems to be a prolific angel investor (--rep).

Notable counterparts would be Uber, Doordash (et al) and, our resident favorite sleeper, Prolific (----------------------)

The nobility goals will, eventually, be forced to give way to the pressure of the whole "we gave you $40M to burn in a pile for 5 years, we'd like 2x back now" cycle that VC funded startups are bound to (---------------------)

I can't find a single direct reference on their home page to what.. exactly.. they DO? "Help people find jobs" .. yeah, okay, cool. (------------------------)

Shaq, by all accounts, is generally a good dude. OTOH, he also shills for Papa Johns (neutral I guess)

*loads crunchbase*

Lmfao yeah we're all fucked. I mostly hope Bezos at least ends my existence quickly.

@THFYM can double check my math.

I mean, they probably wont scam anyone using it, but it is what it is.

 

Night All.

It kind of looks like a weird TaskRabbit / Upwork hybrid? I'd really be curious to see their commission structure.

Looking a bit more into it (cite: https://www.sidehustlenation.com/steady-app-review/ ) I'm seeing basically a middle man for AirBNB, Postmates, DoorDash, etc.

Somewhere down the chain, someone is either already throwing money at them or is about to be soon according to biz plan, else it'd be awfully difficult to attract that kind of capital.

Idk man, we're living in a world where pre-profit valuations are fucking bonkers though. Let's slap together a sex toy subscription service, get 10 monthly active users, and go public w/ a $30M IPO. We'll retire to the Hamptons quicker that you can say "adult pogo stick".

Sand Lab took their hit down, I believe..

 

Right right. Makes sense. Billings exists as the middle-man between the middle-man between researchers and mturk, who is the middle man between billings and workers

There is a severe lack of middle men between workers and platforms

...wait

I have an inkling I shouldn't hit post on this but gonna throw it out there and see what happens

Next time, you should run this by me. I can be your middle men.

Spoiler

 

Deadass man, many people are too stupid unmotivated "busy" to look for income from 10 different sources. Why not conglomerate them and charge a sweet 5, 10, 20, 35% (or w/e) premium for referrals?

Not gonna lie, it's kinda smart on them. And obviously, it's paying off. And Shaq? Always listen to Shaq. I personally own no fewer than 38 tubs of Icy Hot, and it's NOT for sexual reasons (I swear!).

 

I was just joking, since that's essentially all TV does lol.

 

Will surpass the week of 11/29-12/05 rewards this week.. whoever said December is slow- must have been drinking..

 

gnite!
