Is this guy the seller? Or have companies started paying people to post direct ads instaed of subtle messages.

This cesspit of a website... It has no reason to exist if not for the capitalistic system which tantalizes people to get a step up on the corporate ladder, chase "career goals" and progress, and make a quick buck at the expense of others.

That is an ad, they just posted it instead of paying LinkedIn

This is probably an MLM... I can just feel it
