$0.02 per pitch via venmo - "my 2 cents" - a way to stand out - founder says it "doesn't feel intrusive" - investor says "it feels a little creepy" builders/investors: what are your thoughts on this version of pay to msg? https://techcrunch.com/2022/09/02/pitching-via-venmo/

Interesting growth hack but likely stops working at scale due to spam. That said, I do think paid DMs/inbox _might_ be primed to work these days a la the OG Earn.com. Would love to see more teams experimenting with "Respond to Earn".

someone should really try to build pay.com. earn.com should be an organic outgrowth of it

@corbin.eth why do you think the idea has a better chance to work these days? @dk is your point: start with the "I want to msg u" side, not "pay me to read u"? 😜Have been evaluating building something like this into tribes.xyz so I'm super curious to hear how y'all think abt it

finding people who want to earn for doing tasks is so easy it’s not worth solving, they will just show up finding people who want to pay to get something done that fits into this micro-transaction/crypto model is challenging and where all the effort should be placed

I think consumer sentiment has changed since Earn.com, thanks to covid, crypto/nfts, and creator economy. The total market of people that grok making money easily online is big enough and expanding.
