Employment at a below market rate might be the only job some people can get due to events in their past i.e someone with a criminal record that puts most employers out of reach.

There is a large talent pool who want to get their lives back on track.


I'm curious how your platform might avoid false positives with intentionally repetitive music, in particular techno (either produced via a DAW or hardware).

I've been caught out a few times after learning a new artist I liked was AI.

The time spent listening to AI music _could_ instead been spent listening to something created by a human.

That is what pisses me off the most!


I have "friends" purely through common interest in music, and the same for bicycles too.

My oldest/life-long friends have very different musical tastes...and some can't even ride a bike :)


I have little interest in doing a DJ set in public but I'll spend hours crate digging for new music and mixing circular black slabs of vinyl for nothing more than the love of the craft.

These days many DJs are booked on their social media following not their skills or musical knowledge.

The market is completely flooded and promotors cannot practically sift through the sheer volume of mixes published online -- so they go by Internet points instead.


It's no different to a mortgage being in negative equity as the home owner would still be in debt after selling the property.

It's better for the company not the customer


This. It's just another form of hidden inflation at play.

Smartphones, appification, and self-service is usually a downgrade from immediately preceding solutions for everyone except young folks who are money-poor and time-rich, so think nothing of wasting the latter. But this state flips for most around the time they start their career, or at the latest when they start families.


Definitely my cuppa tea too :)

Gambling and weapons (or "defence" depending on perspective) are two industries I refuse to work on principle.

On my deathbed I want to look back on life and feel I've made a small positive impact on the world.


If your deathbed is at the hands of an adversary that beat you because you didn't have any weapons, do you think your views might change?
