50 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?

Yes. From the FAQ:

> Can I ask people to upvote my submission?

> No. Users should vote for a story because it's intellectually interesting, not because someone is promoting it.

> When the software detects a voting ring, it penalizes the post. Accounts that vote like this eventually get their votes ignored.

If you focused it just on reviewing websites, it would basically be a weak and relatively expensive version of http://peek.usertesting.com/

Creator here - no vote manipulation. In fact, I don't actually know anyone who has a hacker news account, believe it or not. Just an intriguing title I suppose?

I voted because I thought it was hilarious. Who would take this seriously?

Nice 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.

Clearer than "There will be no one word answers - I'll make sure to elaborate and make my opinion clear."?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You don't think $10 for someone's opinion is a tad pricey?

Or it could be too cheap, maybe charging $99 is the way to go.

It works for consultants

Interesting...I was thinking about starting a site called comfortinglies.io, where I'll tell you how wonderful you are, how it's all going to be ok, etc. Maybe we could swap links?
