Okay. I did it, paid my $10 bucks and waiting for an email. I actually run a much more expensive, competing service:

Here's Jordan's first email:

Hey there,

Thanks for buying Brutal Honesty. What can I help you with? Ask away.

Cheers

Jordan

And then this is my reply:

Hi Jordan,

So I was hoping to get your honest opinion on a business idea I'm working on. It's a bit similar to your business I guess.

Here's our site:

Let me know if you think this seems like total bullshit, or if it's cool.

Thanks!

Interesting idea, I'm starting a startup consulting company and plan to be more expensive but laser focused on early stage startups with < 10 employees. How has the initial reaction been towards your service? Do you have customers?

One thing I've noticed as a freelance developer is that people are more willing to commit to per project contracts rather than hourly. I wonder if that's the case with a service such as yours where it's a one time deal.

You have a broken link:

On your site, in viewports less than 768px wide, the header background image disappears, leaving a light background that makes the text very difficult to read. The image should probably not disappear, and the background-color should also be changed to something dark like the image, so that in case the image doesn’t load the text will still be legible.

Thanks for catching that!

Interesting. Will you be sharing your email/conversation with him?

[alxdistill]

Sure, what the heck.

[winslow]

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.

It's interesting if he notices that the email conversation will be shared here and therefore puts extra effort into his answer.
