Reddit sprung to mind for me too.
This is a bad idea. Fine, you pay $10 for someone's honest opinion, but it's just one person's opinion, you really want to consult multiple sources to get a balanced view, otherwise you could make a bad decision based on another person being in a shitty mood (for whatever reason).
Plus, I find friends will be honest with you if you expressly give them permission to be, and promise not to take it personally.

#2450 points in 13 minutes without setting off the anti spam detector? Impressive. I still believe this is vote manipulation, though.
Maybe he just has 34 friends online right now and has asked them to up vote? Does that count as manipulation?

#25> I'm Jordan, a 28 year old software developer living in California. I've always been direct and never had a problem telling it like it is. I have a wide variety of interests outside of work that include Finance, Men's Fashion, Diet/Nutrition, Weightlifting, Sports, Travel, Music, and countless other topics.
Brutal honesty: nothing here leads me to believe that Jordan's feedback is any more useful than the feedback of a random person on the street. The fact that Jordan is only charging $10 and hasn't focused his offering on an area of interest where he has demonstrable experience and expertise leads me to believe that Jordan himself doesn't think his feedback is very valuable.

#27Nice idea!
Some (all?) sample questions can be answered with yes or no. I know that you mention a conversation at the top but you might want to make it a bit more clear that your feedback will be more than yes or no.

YES.
Normally, Hacker News detects and penalizes stupid upvote rigging. I'm curious how the OP bypassed it at such a scale.

Yeah, typically it would. Ya know the other possibility is it is legitimately getting voted up.
