I worked for a company who got a "growth hacker" to boost engagement in 2015.

Same trick.

It fell apart quickly. I quit quickly but many of my former colleagues lost months of salary that they are still owed.

every growth hacker i ever talked to has been a guy (always a guy) that just scraped contact info from linkedin, did the flimsiest of sentiment analysis on some public posts and then sent out one of six badly written intro emails based on their expert analysis of the personality type of their target

and they keep getting hired because managers cant wrap their heads around the concept that if they dont want to receive garbage quality cold pitches like this, the people theyre getting these growth hacker to send emails to dont want them either

Not a garbage service! Not waste disposal! A service that drives a special truck to your house and "cleans, sanitizes, and deodorizes your garbage cans." 50% off your first can.

ive been seeing social media posts about how much money you can make doing this as a "side hustle." usually from the same sorts of people who tell you to rent out dumpsters or buy life insurance instead of tax-advantaged retirement funds. sign of the end times

if you don't get product market fit then surely the market is wrong and needs to be educated.

however I would not recommend having a hole in your memory, also if your neurologist goes "nah it's not that" to something that is *exactly* like that", get a second opinion!

jeezus, that's the best advice i wish i had. i had epilepsy growing up and the medication caused all sorts of health issues (luck of the draw rare side effects) and the neurologist insisted it couldn't be that, anything but the medication!

eventually i went to a different neurologist who instantly recognized the side effects and put me on a much better medication

you make $500k per year, live in a big house, and just let your dogs out in your front yard without a leash. you could pick it up yourself but you just got some new poo poo from amazon and it's only like $100 so whatever. plus it feels cool to order someone to clean up your dog's turds from the lawn.

but you don't need to pay 100 bucks to amazon the poo poo is already out there and free and just as fresh and you are paying people to take it away. double paying for poo poo! they probably sell it to amazon!

How could it possibly be worth it? What the hell are you putting in your garbage that necessitates that sort of service? Do you just dump food straight in without a bag or something?

I spray my garbage can out with the hose approx 3x a year at a cost of 1 cent and 5 minutes each time and I can't say I've ever felt it was inadequate
