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 tell em youll do it for 100k per post, and cite disneys recent billion dollar investment in sora, saying they can clearly afford it
@Viss @briankrebs that company has been busy. They’ve emailed me something similar offering to have their co-founder on my podcast in return for a chance at a “sponsorship”
@jerry @Viss @briankrebs Remember back in the day when places started emailing site owners to ask if they could put a link to their site on your site, and everyone had their own page of cross-links? It was like SEO before we knew that SEO was bad. That was my job every Saturday morning at the first internet place I worked in '96 was to go through all the emails from people asking to exchange links and add them to our sites.
