Timewasters with abysmal rates
Spotted this lot on Indeed advertising for writers. It said they were based in Edinburgh. They are actually based in the USA. Rates shockingly poor but as I am quiet on the freelance front I applied to see what it is about. My Indeed application led to another application via their website, followed by a series of questions and tests. The final test was to write a test article based on some crappy content recycling nonsense. I did it anyway to see what happens. Surprise, surprise they messaged back to say they didn't want to pursue the application. Just timewasters. I've been a journalist for long time and have worked in communications for national organisations. These muppets have no idea what they are doing. Like most internet content writing places, they want trash written for a trash audience. Do they realise people don't really engage with such crap. They click on it, then click off it again. Honestly, what is this world coming to. We are turning into a planet of morons run by the biggest morons of all. Bah humbug.
