  • Tech companies don't hire people who know their stuff. Tech companies pay contractors who know their stuff to do the things their trained employees can't. They arent looking for a full cup. They need new meat to exploit while it's still too dumb to realize how hard it's getting shafted and then to dump it before it makes itself irreplaceable.

    It also doesn't sound as much like you're looking for engagement as you are employment ("people with money don't pay attention to me"). If money is the end goal, you want to do advertising, not just engagement. If engagement and community are what you truly want, then I'm afraid to tell you those things generally cost money instead of generating it.

    Contracting work would be the best case of having your cake and eating it too. Contractors form their own communities wherever they go depending on the trades in question. I think you'll find the network of likeminded individuals you're looking for there. However, be advised that contracting is regulation heavy and would greatly benefit from a few focused law courses before really trying to get yourself into bidding jobs.

    I’m down for the apology. It just lost all impact when OP immediately follows up by blaming ADHD and impulsively. That’s exceptionally uncool considering the community that was affected. The sarcasm is also problematic especially considering the level of authority that was abused here. The post couldnt be removed by the exact people who are supposed to be able to remove content when needed. To take the attitude of “big deal, so scary” compounds my suspicion of immaturity and is not encouraging to see in an administrator.

    What I’m hearing is “I did a bad thing but I have ADHD and I said sorry so it’s a whoopsie that shouldn’t affect me” but without a genuine apology. Blaming the namesake of this space and “impulsivity” shows nothing but immaturity imo. We get it. You like money. You don’t like being called out. Maybe, don’t abuse the rules and you won’t get called out?
