This is exactly the same question I asked them yesterday: https://twitter.com/davecraige/status/684429034676092928
They haven't responded yet.
I somewhat agree. But more than that I don't this service is really comparable to a single dedicated EA. It feels more like TaskRabbit++.
The most valuable thing about having good EA is the relationship e.g. you often don't need to ask them to do things as they know you well enough to preempt the requests, they take initiative, which is always going to be lacking in a service like Magic+.
"Personally email all my 1,200 new customers today, get me feedback in 2 hours."
"Make sure this story hits top page on Reddit/HN."
These are probably weird examples. But the expectation here would be to get a superhuman, who does task a random human simply cannot do. Group work is what I expect I'm paying for. Otherwise, I can hire a freelancer online for $1000 a month.
