This is a ridiculously awesome business idea. Either you'll make millions or nothing with that. But the costs aren't that high, and at least the buzz can be used for something else. Good luck!
He would have to respond to a lot of messages (100 000) to reach a million.
> 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 o…
To me, his bio says "I am a pretty average guy, with above average intelligence. I am the guy you are trying to impress at the bar, I am your bro who never invites you to the gym, I am in the front row of your concert."

Considering that usually the going rate for the people I employ is something like $50 to $150, $10 for advice seems quite cheap.
For your arguments:
1. Why would I care about the heading? I don't care if the guy is cheap or not, I just want honest, brutal feedback for once. 2. Well the guy has focus, I prefer buying from a guy that invests in the thing he does instead of secondary thing like a logo. 3. Again, who cares?
... yadda yadda. In this case the website look doesn't matter, but the copy.
I would totally use this if the guy running it was closer to robot than human. A highly logical walkthrough of whatever problem I present is something I would value immensely, as I think anyone else who's watched any sci-fi films with all-knowing, oracle-like talking computers would. But I don't think this is a problem that can be solved by ordinary people, and AI is nowhere close yet. Perhaps there's room in the wor…
Perhaps you are looking for Spock-as-a-Service?

He isn't trying to suggest this is a service which everyone will find useful or interesting. It actually takes a lot of honesty with yourself to even understand why you might need this service. Thousands of people every day make decisions on their own, or on the advice of others, which are badly informed decisions. This guy could help them. For $10, he isn't going to send you a 5 word email and ignore you forever. He…
Usually the consultants I pay or meet are much more expensive than $10.

Sure, what the heck.
Awesome! It will be cool to see what his response is to a business idea that is somewhat similar to the service he is providing you.
I, personally, cannot imagine any question to which I would get a more valuable answer from a 28-year-old software engineer in California interested in finance, men's fashion and weightlifting than I would get from my wife, family, friends and peers -- people who know me; whose lives actually overlap with mine in some way. What is "telling it like it is" if you don't share the same context? How likely is it he can pi…

But there are people who could seek him out as someone a bit further along than they are, on a similar path, plus some market for people who'll try it for fun.

Who the fuck cares if you don't see the need. It is a niche product, like an impulse buy in a supermarket. I don't see need for 99% of the crap what is sold in a dollar store, but the dollar store is still a quite solid business. That said, I just bought my advice, paid but I still don't see email. Damn.
Could you send me an email directly at brutalhonestyio@gmail.com? I'll get to yours next :)

OK. I'm not associated with the service, but as I'm in tough spot in my business, I'm looking for some advice. Considering that usually the going rate for the people I employ is something like $50 to $150, $10 for advice seems quite cheap. For your arguments: 1. Why would I care about the heading?
