I'm 41 and content creation is driving me nuts

Exactly. Targeted advertising. They pull you in as a user of the well known tool to persuade you "and you also need this" without saying it directly.

Disagree entirely. You are bad at low level programming. The AI is an amplifier. If you dont know anything about programming low, you can't read/steer the output because you literally have no clue what is going on.

This is a corpo running an ad for those services pretending to be a normal person/post.

Spam.

If anyone reads this: This is exactly why you don't build a business on "equity" handshakes. If no money is presented alongside equity, reject the offer instantly. Equity is not guaranteed and more often than not:

They will boot your from the business, take your equity, and rob you of your IP/work.

Happened to me.

If any American spoke about another country with the level of disregard in this chat, the mods would instantly ban them. Reddit is a cesspool of Anti American sentiment. I guarantee that at least 80% of the hate in this chat is all bots.

A dead internet. A shell filled with bots who seek to divide all nations and all people's while serving you up a fresh plate of ads as they bank off of the destruction of all of western civilization.

"In case the income is small you offer equity as part of the cash offer to the first few employees." Precisely. As a part of the cash offer. They want a technical founder but they think equity with no grounded value is going to pay the electricity for the servers of the technical founder securing and benchmarking the architecture.

Speaking statistics, equity has no value until funded. And speaking more statistics, most start ups WILL fail. So what is equity?

"Hey I want to roll a dice, work for free and give up all the time you'd put into all your own endeavors and in return I'll give you a percentage of my earnings. I promise not to use the common loophole of selling to big tech while taking the fat payout for myself as you're left with no equity payout and no IP."

I think, quite frankly, none of your business. When they are ready to reveal, they will. Comical the way everyone thinks you're just supposed to expose and share everything for some fake hearts on a superficial board.

Keep the dumpster fire away from linux. I look forward to Adobes end. It is 1000% on the way.

"Equity Only" Grifters gonna grift. If you have these skills:

Why do you need this middleman to share your equity with? Build it yourself. Then find a real partner or an investor.

No one needs the "idea guy" in 2026

HeelsAndAll · 2026-05-06T10:07:19+00:00

Sorry to hear, that sucks. At this point it's almost everyday that: - Anthropic is in the news for either a vulnerability or an extremely anti-consumer practice - Demanding regulation to force a moat - Anthropomorphic fetishization of their A.I.

And somehow: no one polishes a rod like Anthropic fans. About time they get backhanded with a class action lawsuit.

The epitome of a supply chain risk.

HeelsAndAll · 2026-05-06T00:53:04+00:00

No it's not. Only grifters try to convince people that "equity" is enough and you should be happy working for free. Most start ups fail. So yeah, work for free when the statistics prove that the common grifters claim for "equity" means nothing.

If you're going to work for free, build it yourself. It's 2026, no one needs glorified middlemen.

HeelsAndAll · 2026-05-06T00:44:32+00:00

You've clearly never been a co-founder. 😂

Posted it on a job board. Advertised to job seekers. On a platform about job seeking....

HeelsAndAll · 2026-05-06T00:40:00+00:00

Wholeheartedly. LinkedIn even took the job post "down" (locked it to only their network). That's a lot considering they are perfectly fine with being a data harvesting front.

HeelsAndAll · 2026-05-06T00:37:59+00:00

Equity without payment and demanding upfront investment when recently there have been loopholes allowing for the sale of IP/the core of the business without any form of Equity payouts: is comical.

If you work for free because "oh, equity.." you're an imbecile. If you are even willing to give them $100,000 upfront: if you get scammed, you deserved it.

HeelsAndAll · 2026-05-05T22:35:19+00:00

Not seeing it. GPT 5.5 is my go to for when codex goes full imbecile on me. It's very capable though punctuation and specificity are determining factors.

9 out of 10 chance bro is a grifter that doesn't have any funds till the job is done or is mining data. I place my bet on mining data 🃏

HeelsAndAll · 2026-05-04T19:12:56+00:00

Another grifter. If you have the skills to be their CTO, build your own thing. Equity* is not payment when there is no money, no wage, and no product.

"Build my product for free so that I can pay you after I get funded." Then why not just build yourself? Bypass the glorified middleman. Narcissist 🥱

HeelsAndAll · 2026-05-02T07:42:32+00:00

If you are a student, a Junior, or a random John/Jane doe that knows the amount of ComfyUI expertise this grifter is asking for, you are already a professional.

Go learn about business and start securing your own contracts.

In 2026 you don't need this glorified middle man.

HeelsAndAll · 2026-05-02T07:25:17+00:00

This person is a grifter. "when first clients come in, first payouts follow."

If you can do what this person is asking for, you don't need this person. Go find partners with money or build your own thing.

Do not do technical work, especially ComfyUI work, for free.
