What conclusion did you draw from learning more about this company?

I know what I think, what feelings did you come away with?

I have no problem with the "bots", but I would never pay for what is otherwise, free. From the sound of the ad, I thought I could do the mass production of photo retouching that I have as my background. To create something that is value added, and be paid for that piecework.

As it is, the customer is paying for drug store pictures, made using our Historical Societies facilities, and sold for less than what our Historical Society might charge for one of their collection.

Every time a cable TV company calls, I tell them I will buy only one channel, and for that I will pay up to $5 a month. The math works out great from a sales percentage perspective. Oh well...

I suppose the libertarian point of view might interest some people, but I am an anti-libertarian.

I have considered buying a used $6k film scanner, and converting old negatives, and slides, onto DVD's for people. As a home business, it would be long hours for poverty wages, but that's the plan, for now. I much prefer to be taken advantage of.
