Nice post but a bit shallow. There's way more bs to write about. This ad was featured here last week (and also last month), they're a YC company. If you can get to the end of it with a straight face, I'll buy you a coffee. https://icon.me/careers https://icon.me/careers Reads as if one, purposely, wanted to cram as much red flags as possible into a job description.

  Right? The actual description for the openings are two ambiguous and crude sentences. Getting a lot of downvotes on that, wonder if I broke some unspoken rule by talking bad about a YC company.

    I'd say it was the dismissal of TFA as shallow. Generally HN does want more substantive commentary. The author is in the thread here You want more written about it? Go ahead. Sharing an example of a bad job ad is perfectly reasonable and I don't suspect that's what the down votes are for.

  They create variants from a single video from a real creator. They don't say if the examples on the career page are AI generated variants, but if they are, they're not generated from scratch.

Woah. That's like blatantly obvious Nigerian scam emails - they are meant to filter out all but easily exploitable marks.

This is not only possible but (see for example the explicit reference to "How to succeed in MrBeast production") quite likely: they are looking for people who like the red flags. People who believe that they are "A players", who move to New York for job opportunities and don't care about working from home, who don't intend to have a life outside work, who seriously consider a random startup something they might be fanatic about.

Give up your life, and for what, to make influencer ads? Hopefully the money is good.
