I'm guessing the target of this kind of service are large classes where the professor can't practically get to examine each person's essays and internalize that unique voice. Classes like that also tend to not require a lot of in-class participation, again because it isn't practical to do with a large number of students. As for finding people "skilled in the particular cirriculums," I'm guessing this is meant for some of the lower level/introductory classes where the cirriculum is going to be more or less the same everywhere.

They say they can write your PhD thesis for you. How on earth can that work? You'll have years of intense one-on-one tuition with an expert in the field and they're not going to notice someone wrote the thesis? How are you going to withstand several hours of viva for something you didn't write? How can the EduBird author make an original contribution to the field on demand?

  They can? I didn't see anything about that in the article. I've got no clue how you would pull that off

      Wow, I have no idea. I skimmed around their little review section and couldn't find anyone who wrote a full dissertation for someone, though I did find one person who apparently wrote a chapter for someone's thesis. That might be achievable, if you give them your outline and partially completed sections and they fill it in? Though it really doesn't seem worth it. I haven't written a thesis, but I imagine most of the work is in doing the actual research and creating something that furthers the state of the art, the writeup seems much easier. Though a sibling comment mentioned that this might be a complete scam, which I wouldn't doubt. Or none of their writers actually accept offers to write an entire thesis, and they just advertise the possibility of someone on their site doing it.

      "Besides, they are aware of the expectations of the high school professors and know what can impress them." They claim they can write a PhD thesis, but they can't check their own prose.

  Maybe they’re lying? I mean, they’re a cheating service, so bullshitting their customers seems par for course. What are they going to do, try and get their money back? Bring a suit in Ukraine? Leave bad feedback? I’m sure the review system is gamed by the company, since they are professiomsl cheaters. Getting a shitty paper from them is going to be like buying powdered sugar from a coke dealer.

    Yep. I'm a teacher. In my experience nearly 100% of students caught cheating turned in essays that were terrible to begin with. They would most likely not pass the course even if they didn't get turned in for academic dishonesty.

  Once they've got your money I doubt they care how your thesis defense went. I'm sure they'll write anything you pay them to.

  They can probably write the PhD thesis required for a degree mill.
