I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or if you are being serious? But, in case you were being serious, I think the blog post does not quite come to the same conclusions you seem have come to

Is your reticence due to your far of others implementing your ideas?

I really like your idea and had similar thoughts - curious how you would build this, and if you planned to? I saw in your comments you ran a website that sounded like an earlier version of Reddit - could you share the name of the site? My email is [email protected] if you aren't interested in publicly posting that info ( I would have emailed you but there's no contact info I could see)

maybe they want to leverage? take out a loan secured in eth, and use that loan to buy more eth
Hi Jesse,

I saw a lot of youtube channels and reddit posts discussing how to optimize their ad spend (for example, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1O6feWOsbLs)

In the video the person starts a new online store and shows how he measures his return on advertising investment. It seems to be a pretty direct correlation between his ad spend and his increased sales.

How do you match up your thoughts on advertising with the prevalence of these kind of "advertising success stories"?

yes it would be great to do this in a group - I would love to join as well!
Re:Waterloo Co-op: A Blessing and a Curse on Friday April 24, 2015 @12:37AM (#9431451)
I want to point out that the experience of most of the commenters is in the software engineering field. The situation for co-ops in other programs, such as chemical engineering, is VASTLY different. If you look at the hiring rates there, it's rather abysmal. Talk to any of the chem eng, nano eng, or even some mech eng and you'll find that a whole bunch of them are doing unpaid volunteer positions to get their co-op hours, or working low paying, menial menial jobs - especially for the first few co-ops. It is by far NOT the same experience as software engineers have it.

Also, it's very very common for chem engs (hah, I guess you have figure it out, I'm a chem eng from waterloo) to graduate with significant debt. My first co-op paid 6k as I worked for a professor, my second paid 18$ an hour, third was 15$ an hour, 4th was 22$ an hour, then I got into oil and was paid around 33$ an hour for the last two co-ops. I think I got really lucky - I know many people who just took a term off because they couldn't find a job - and they were sociable and had pretty good marks!

just believe me. It's different in other programs.
