Oh, you're former tech support? That makes so much more sense that you or your colleagues would accept such small amount of money for these favors, then.
Most of the comments in this thread are likely from the perspective of developers who make AT LEAST 250k. But your target pawns are the lower drones, possibly outside the US?
I find this disingenuous. You explain how you verify that the employees work for big tech on your FAQ. It would be trivial for companies of this size to go backwards.
I’m sure your motives were good, but I’d urge you to think this through.
So far, I've gotten decent feedback from my former colleagues and friends in big tech. Most of them take some sort of compensation for helping restore Insta / ad accounts - this is just a more direct way.
I'm shocked people take compensation for that. I would've felt super weird taking money for it (not least because with how much I make charging for a favor feels like an incredibly crass thing to do)
Yeah, if was someone who I wouldn't want to do a favor for I just wouldn't do it. I make so much money that the idea of taking money from friends for a pretty simple favor comes across as weird and miserly.
Got it, you are friends with corrupt big tech employees.
This site is an absolutely terrible idea. Anyone that thinks this is acceptable should not be working for these companies. Your friends and former colleagues are, quite frankly, stupid. If they sell access to recovery they will be caught and fired, or worse.
It would be trivial for the insider risk people at said companies to find out who you have communicated via their work email.
It is absolutely against terms of employment across the industry to sell recovery of accounts. Not to mention completely unethical. Why would you think this is acceptable?
The terms of employment are in many cases also a form of corruption. You just don't recognize it because you're trained to see the established law and order as morally right (probably). Something something Kohlberg's stages.
"Paris" is only the small place within the old walls. It's population is under 2M, most of them owners, with ownership lasting since before WWI, who could never afford to buy (or rent) now. Rest are suburbs and don't have Paris on it's address. And sure, rents there are a lot lot cheaper.
You continue to reply to defend your position that 5k euros is below average rent per month for Eastern European capitals in their most attractive locations. Do you actually have data?
It's such an extraordinary claim people are using Paris (not an Eastern European capital) as a counter example, but let's not move the goal post.
Just for the record, i agree that i was wrong, i checked prices, indeed they are about 2x smaller than i assumed (not in Paris but in East Europe capitals). Looks like i need to get out of my social bubble more frequently.
That doesn't affect my initial claim though: indeed, the quoted Manhattan rents in the original article include existing contracts, including decades-old regulated rental contracts, and do not represent average prices of new rentals signed now.
Imo, SEO is still super valuable - but investing traffic that might be months (or even years) down the road of hard optimisation and content work can be put into question. To decide in your case, I would use SEO tools (SEMrush, ahrefs, there are many) and see how difficult it actually is to rank for your relevant keywords. If it is not manageable in your timeframe, there are 18 more channels (referencing Gabriel Weinberg's traction book here) you could test out before returning to SEO.
