I doubled my prices for Black Friday
I figured it would be fun to see the reaction from this. There's no way half the deals on offer on Black Friday are genuine savings.
For instance, today I doubled the prices to post on my job board from $99 to $198.
Tomorrow I can bring the price down to $99 and offer everyone "an amazing 50% discount."
I also feel a lot of people having apathy over the deals now. Everyone has been spammed today so I thought I'd make something that maybe makes people smile instead.
I fancy your idea, but I have a genuinely massive problem with your wording and the discrimination in it.
Why did you raise the price for developers without a degree only? I feel disgusted reading this and honestly wonder if I should use such a site in the first place? It's like raising the price for female or male developers only. Why not have $399 price tag for disable people too?
Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of "Fuck Black Friday", just do it in another way.
Maybe like this: "We honestly think most Black Friday Offers are a ripoff. Use our code BLACKFRIDAY2019 and pay 100% more than the usual price. Now, that is a honesty right there."
Gonna try and restrain myself here...
I have a "genuinely massive problem" with you not doing the tiniest amount of research!
The whole website is for developers without degrees!!!
There is a clue in the name of both my websites: No CS degree & No CS OK.
Seriously, take 10 seconds to visit the site or do some research before attacking someone like this.
I am sorry you feel this way. I did not mean to attack you. I apologise if that was too harsh of a feedback. My gut feeling is that you do understand my point, and while you and your site has higher motives, it may be foolish to assume everyone seeing your "Black Friday" offer to invest another second trying to figure out what this may be about.
This is what came across to me, and maybe others as well. Take my criticism and toss it in the trash if you like. Inferring someone not doing their research, while someone took their time writing you feedback and also providing some change suggestion (and not just bash it) does not come across very friendly either.
just my 2cents.
It's not at all like those things. There isn't a systemic problem of discrimination against people with Computer Science degrees!
How did you get so many listings? Did you manually add them? Or did you scrape some websites?
Some are paid, some are manual. Gonna scrape soon.
