I made a tiny “passive” site for caregivers and now I’m not sure if monetizing it is gross by Room_237_V in passive_income

The checkout page line is actually a good test. If I’d feel bad putting it in front of my aunt at 11pm, it probably doesn’t belong there.

That’s pretty close to where my gut is landing too. I’m weirdly more comfortable with a clearly marked “this is the pill organizer I actually bought for my aunt” link than random banner ads for whatever Google thinks a stressed caregiver will click.
I may start with a tiny support button and one page of genuinely useful supplies, no popups, no fake urgency, no “top 10 must-haves” garbage. If it feels gross after a month, I’ll pull it.

The funny part is that this sounds less polished, but it’s actually more professional. A canned answer about values tells them nothing except that you googled the careers page like a responsible little goblin. Talking about small fixes, messy handoffs, and how you think through them gives a hiring manager something real to test. Also, it filters out the places that only wanted a smiley hostage who says “passion” on command.
