      If it’s from Business Insider or Forbes, there’s a 95% chance it was a under-the-table ad.

      I’m not under any contract anymore. You can hire writers to post on those two sites about your product, or expand your reach. Every business book review is a ad. Every “How to do X” like “How to talk to your boss” is a thin disguise of a ad, as it sells you books, courses.

    Sounds good to me. Any app that helps you find like minded folk can be used a variety of ways. It’s a little funny to read but not a big surprise.

    Okay but they are definitely hooking up first. I have a hard time believing the app with built in dick pic sharing features and reputation for being useless for dating has people being like “hey QT you have any jobs?”
