Either built a utility, game or a content/community site and monetize with ads. If you're feeling adventurous monetize via utility tokens.

Is there a particular area you specialize in for blockchain? I know there's a lot of opportunities outside of the standard currency/token space.

Setup Shopify with Oberlo. If you know what you want to sell (and know what will provide good margins) you only need to add products to your site (Oberlo automates this a lot). Install a good shopify theme and you should have a decent looking site. After this all orders get routed directly to the wholesaler, and you shouldn't have to do anything except respond to customer support (have a no questions asked refund policy and you should be good - just make sure your margins allow for it)

After that it's all about getting traffic - usually facebook ads are the way to do this. This is the part thats hard to put on autopilot. Maybe you can get someone to do it for you for cheap - but you need to make sure you have really good margins.

If you have a way to get traffic to your site - actually getting a site up and running is easy.

Not sure if this would be the right thread, but I'm a UI/UX designer and I am looking for 1 or more developers (front-end or backend) who wants to partner up for consulting work.

I would love to provide end-to-end design and development services to my clients.

The long-term goal is to scale up operations to be more of a platform like Gigster - but at the beginning it's more of a agency-esque approach.

I'd be interested to see videos of these mock interviews. Would be helpful for folks who aren't interviewing now but might some day.

Popular highlights would probably be a great start.

For me it was more around me reading a book and being able to see additional notes and thoughts from others who read it before me. Seems like I'd benefit from the notes of those smarter than me (kind of like how Harry Potter benefited from the notes of the Half Blood prince :D )

Interesting concept. Adult stories are definitely a lucrative market. I believe literotica is one of the largest websites in the world by traffic (I believe in the top 50), but they don't really have much competition.

I do wonder what the monetization opportunities are here. Advertising might not be a good option since not a lot of brands advertise on adult sites - so you're left with scammy or predatory ads.

Do you guys have a plan for the long term monetization yet?

" the company won't hire unless you have experience in a big bank"

Seems like this is the requirement the candidate doesn't meet - although its unstated.

If the issue was sex, race or age it would me a legitimate "study" but in this case, it'd be just lying about experience to get the job.

This was a very different scenario though. The intent was a legitimate research. I feel like OP is more looking for a justification for something he knows is wrong.

Even if it was conducted purely for research, the findings wouldn't really be interesting. Results for whether a company gives you a callback if you add experience they are explicitly seeking is hardly going to be surprising.

While I rarely highlight or take notes. I'd be interested in seeing other people's highlights and notes. Is that something you guys would consider putting on your roadmap - sort of a social aspect to your currently utilitarian product?

Its a very unethical approach. And if you're caught, it'll destroy people's trust in you (and thats something that's hard to gain back).

If you really want a job there, I'd say try to get in touch with the hiring manager or someone who's on the team. Usually it's HR acting as a gatekeeper without understanding the nuances of what makes a good candidate good.

Reach out to folks either through your personal network if you have a connection, or via LinkedIn.

I'm not necessarily disagreeing with the point you're trying to make regarding how Jack Ma might be part of the problem.

But its not really a "China" problem. There's a lot of startups and mature companies in the US that have similarly aggressive personalities at the helm who demand a lot from their employees.

My main point was the notion that people are assuming that its universal in China, when its not always true (whether its more prevalent than in the US or not - i dont know).

The only reason I'm even making this point was because how grandparent to my comment made a simple comment about how companies in Shenzen pay a lot, and the response to that was a blanket "but 996" when that might not be true.
