Not even a little bit. I hate calling people that are expecting my call, and I could never get over selling something I knew was bogus, even for a ton of money.
- mistercow 2y agoYeah, that was a startling admission to put in the post. If I were a shitty person who wanted to do scam people, I would probably just do it. It isn’t rocket science. But I have this weird quirk where I don’t like causing other people misery.
- xandrius 2y agoFor many money is really that important, even if they are actually doing rather well in the scheme of things. I'd rather make 1% of the money but not scam anyone during the process.
- jtgverde 2y agoYeah, basically saying "would you commit federal felonies defrauding gullible people for millions? hell yeah!" Quite telling of the morals of a lot of "sales" people
- the_af 2y agoAgreed. Someone else is getting flak for saying the same as you, only summing it up in a single word: "gross". According to dang it's against HN guidelines to single this sentence out, even though it's the single most striking sentence of the (rather short) article. It's a disappointing world where most people don't consider this gross.
