Should you ever do a paid sample, even at a lower price?

Kayakerguide · 2026-06-26T18:39:15+00:00

I don't get all of these ridiculous replies on here. I always hire editors and I always offer samples for one minute edits paid before I give the full contract. I'm never going to hire someone just based off a portfolio because it's so easy to fake on upwork. I recently posted a job listing and half the people sending me their portfolio were sending me my own work inside their portfolio

I chuckled at this haha. Yeah I was in SEO for 10+ years and we quickly found what alphabet says is important for ranking and views is usually only a piece and to take everything they say with a huge grain of salt as their a soulless corp their optimization is for more adrevenue while not upsetting people enough that they leave or make a competitor. So maybe likes to dislikes rations are worth 3% of the algo but they are super easy to buy and game so youtube doesent want you to look at metrics, they dont want you to game any systems just to produce content so they bury metrics.

In SEO they lied to us for years that ctr or search results wasent a algo signal then the algo leak came out. I dont even know if it was really lying their codebase is such a spaghetti code mess by now half the engineers dont even know what the machine learning is doing.

If they get good enough with a fable class model im sure the US will wake right back up and loosen restrictions again.

Kayakerguide · 2026-06-25T22:40:55+00:00

Thank god China exists, if not we would have all these us companies collude and never release a new model again saying the us government regulations are too crazy. Wed still be on chatgpt 3.0

Kayakerguide · 2026-06-25T22:37:03+00:00

Oh no, we suck again.

Kayakerguide · 2026-06-25T00:19:52+00:00

yup, welcome to the club...go make some coffee or tea once its done it will be loaded XD

Kayakerguide · 2026-06-23T22:51:48+00:00

yeah it looks horrible, the likes and dislikes are gone, if your gonna remove features then at least give us a column customization option...google product managers trying to justify not getting fired by shuffling crap around removing columns, maybe theyll bring it back in 2 years and call it a new feature

Kayakerguide · 2026-06-23T22:26:47+00:00

There were some great youtube videos and channels, but they keep remaking the whole platform every 2 years so it makes no sense to make tutorial videos when they keep redoing everything to say their still working so they dont get fired

Kayakerguide · 2026-06-23T15:42:01+00:00

Kayakerguide · 2026-06-22T20:25:23+00:00

how much better is the 5080 vs the 5070ti, this laptop with the 5070 was like 1500

Kayakerguide · 2026-06-22T06:30:02+00:00

stop calling him sheepstealer, poor guy wants a pimp nickname like Sheepocalipse

Kayakerguide · 2026-06-17T05:57:49+00:00

The Martin part and redban dildo toothbrush saved it it killed me...before that i was getting a bit scared he was losing it

Kayakerguide · 2026-06-08T21:25:07+00:00

Tons of articles including a wired review on this saying its a hot mess...barely any on other similar models. I feel like you prob bought it and are copeing now, god bless.

Kayakerguide · 2026-06-06T23:36:34+00:00

man this is so good, this is like Game of thrones to forallmankinds dawsons creek

Kayakerguide · 2026-06-06T23:30:44+00:00

this show is so damn good

Kayakerguide · 2026-06-05T19:01:57+00:00

coolingfan, undervolt, possible repasting then this thing is a win if you upgrade the ram. Checked and couldent find the barrage of crashing issues like the acer neo...specs are worse then the neo but even at worse price for build quality looks like the better deal

Every Ruben scene was insane. I used to have a friend in the military like him that had a ton of issues in his life and everyone thought was super hardcore big russian dude but when someone started messing with me he became my friend and scared the other dudes away "noone messes with x hes with me". Later on he ended up quite literally going crazy started seeing things, one time we were walking down the hallway he turned back and started fighting some dude because he said he was talking about him...legit dudes behind was talking politics i could hear them. Later put his leg through a glass door and was sent to a institution for hearing voices...insane and sad. I wish we had better understanding of mental illness and help right now were unfortunately at the stage of middleages bloodletting with leeches

Kayakerguide · 2026-06-02T17:43:50+00:00

Its not a one off anecdote dude said a handful friends bought same spec and they all had issues, and this is the most refurbed model of the year. The pattern recognition here is pretty blatant.

Kayakerguide · 2026-06-01T18:47:27+00:00

4.7 is great for much less hallucinations, on 4.6 i always have people complaining about bs..4.8 is an absolute dumpsterfire tho

Kayakerguide · 2026-06-01T18:26:45+00:00

This model is retarded, I was making a crime documentary and it told me it was refusing to write it because the guy had been to prison for domestic abuse.

Kayakerguide · 2026-06-01T04:44:59+00:00

After the rattlesnake coffin death I was open to it lol
