The primary reason why I would want to be a freelancer is because I DON'T crave company.
But I don't know why you'd pay for this. There's so many free video call services and even as a freelancer I'm often working "with" other people I can, and do, call.
As a freelancer I dont want a startups "company". Yes, a fridge full of kombucha is not really interesting. Nor is a bunch of people bragging about spending VC money for no reason or working on useless garbage pseudo-product. And Im not lonely. So, why dont we kick it old school, and you just pay me money. As you have done for the last 20 years and will continue to do until Im bored of you.

Wow - that escalated quickly - should of added the sarcasm flag to it. Certainly it's not okay to tamper with someone else's system without their permission. I would suggest they just take it with them, I would not leave mine laying out for other's to watch. Maybe I should of suggested having a battery powered 360 camera on hand, perhaps shaped like the blue yeti microphones and painted like an eye? Surely there is o…

After working at a company, initially it felt quite nice but after some months/years I started feeling different. I have been working intensively at a companies, and then as a freelancer/solopreneur, alternating both modes along the years. Currently working mostly alone I have to admit that I crave the workplace - kind of the place where you go work and meet other people and share some kind of mission.

I think this is very personal. I've been doing freelance, solo (from home) since 2014 and I couldn't be happier. Workplaces drain energy from me for some reason. I do have a fair amount of good friends and other social activities, so I'm definitely not lonely.
