> Ok, if it's not a scam, I will happily eat my words. But if it is, I almost don't see the problem with the company itself but rather with how the platform is handling this.
So if this is all a big scam you "almost don't see the problem" with the company trying to pull off the scam? The blame should lay squarely on the platform?
Are you serious?
Like, I understand that the platform should take responsibility for their vetting procedures, but to suggest they are more responsible then the company that is trying to pull the scam is fucking nuts.
I guess this is just another notch on the "fuck you got mine" belt that seems to be fairly common on HN. If you can think up a good business that doesn't have to deliver and you can get away with it or shift the blame to someone else, you get a pat on the back and are absolved of any responsibility!
