I'm making a joke-website, "Everyone Loses as a Service (ELaaS)" [1]

The premise is essentially:

1) Accept money from angry customers asking us to prompt-hole tokens from targetedCompany chatbots

2) Approach targetedCompanies to offer the "real" (secret) service. For a monthly subscription fee, we won't prompt-hole their LLM tooling.

3) The real, real service is to setup some google alerts for targetedCompany release notes & forum posts. Whenever threshold exceeds some predetermined threshold, initiate Turbo Mode: the higher the hatred-per-customer, the greater the discount the service will be for them. Spit out newsletters as needed, regardless of whether or not they subscribed.

Meanwhile, initiate "surge pricing" for targetedCompany on a per-hour, per-payment basis. The more customers that pay, the higher the "one-time fee" is to targetedCompany.

Staffing is almost entirely made up of interns, a few roles are filled by underpaid contractors with unattainable goals; keep them both working there with the promise of full time employment "after things calm down."

If all goes well, everyone pays us money to do absolutely nothing with minimal outflow of revenue.
