I'm going to keep calling out companies that offer to pay me to repost stuff on my site. Especially the AI-backed ones, which seem unusually aggressive in this PR tactic. Who knows, maybe they'll stop sending them to me at least (not holding my breath).
I guess these geniuses missed the first memo. Time to post this at the source (LinkedIn)

@briankrebs I would say, sure and post about it with you honestly think and then state this post was subsidized by them for a $1000.

You get to say what you think, get paid, and if they don't like the post and refuse to pay you. You then edit the post that they decided not to pay you at all due to the fact they don't like what you posted.

Either you make money or you don't. So, long as you are being ethical and make sure everyone knows if you were or weren't paid for posting.
