I saw a Facebook ad from some sort of ridiculous company that said something along the lines of, “If you’re seeing this, we want you!” and had a link to their hiring page.

  1. The business model seems to be a mashup of Napster and cryptocurrency. You share content (possibly? likely? content that you don’t actually hold appropriate distribution rights for?) with other users, and there is blockchain and imaginary money involved. During my youth, I may have spent many hours in the home of “The Distributor”, a notorious Schenectady-based software pirate, but those days are behind me. Now I buy all my digital content (with the exception of the copied DVDs mailed to me, unbidden, by a friend of The Distributor). Also, I am not enthusiastic about blockchain.

  2. They describe themselves as having a “flat” management structure, which I believe is code for, “We thrive on chaos.”

  3. Maybe they want me to answer the phone? Because they certainly have a “type” for their technical staff, and it is not middle aged ladies.

  4. How do they make money? Do they make money? (Real money, not Beanie Babies money.) I’ve reached a point in my career where I will only work for companies that make money.
