I looked at your app, nice idea. How are you better / different than the others in the same space? Are you faster or cheaper or better coverage? The worst thing I see about the competitor is he left their name in the comments so I cou

By the same token, if they interview you, offer you a job and you turn it down, do you owe them the wages of people who spent time interviewing you? I do like the idea of them paying you for your time. I dislike sending a thank you letter,

It is a matter of trust. I suspect half the US population now no longer trusts AWS / AMAZON, FACEBOOK / WHATSAPP, TWITTER, YOUTUBE / GOOGLE. Right now is a great time for a competitor to grab market share.
