Various companies have been doing this for a while (and it's a business model that existed long before the internet). This is the one I know best and have used: https://clarity.fm/ It was great a few years ago for validation for a B2B product we wanted to sell and needed unbiased feedback on.
"It was great a few years ago for validation..." It isn't good anymore?
It reminds me of writing SMS messages - using all the awful txt spk to use as few characters as possible and save money.
Not just to save space. Typing with T9 was much more time-consuming that our autocomplete touch keyboards.
I'm curious, is it needed to generate an invoice for every payment received? How is the accounting managed?
It looks like you're using stripe to process your payments. Does this mean that if I send a 1-character message it will cost you money?
I have the same feeling. With only 300 bucks we can make this guy lose 10K :D ( $10.000 / ( 0.3 + ( 0.029 * 0.01$ ) ) * 0.01 = $333,01 We would need a javascript script that would make 33301 payments of 1 cent. This would be a very cost efficient attack between business rivals.
Perhaps if you spent less than 33 cents he won't...

This would result in incessant phone calls. That's purely hypothetical, of course, because no one would take a job at that company.
> This would result in incessant phone calls. Make those expensive, too. Or accept people making more phone calls, which is perfectly fine, because you can only call one person at a time. > no one would take a job at that company Not if you are already working there, and not if the company sells it as a huge improvement to work productivity and fewer distractions.
Anyway, people don't like to start at a baseline and then go down from there. It makes them anxious. A better scheme would be to reward people for short meetings, few or concise emails, etc.

If the money was donated this would just make this an alternative way to donate money to charity, the creator pocketing the money is necessary for this to be a social experiment.
He could give the money to me and the “social experiment” part would be unaffected, I think. He could burn the money. Keeping it is not really out of necessity.
