Ask HN: Interest in a service where a person insults you to motivate you?
Basically thinking along the lines of https://bossasaservice.life/ except in the form of ridicule and belittlement instead of encouragement, for people who are motivated by insults or just enjoy them.
Steps would be like:
1. You send us your task list
2. We ruthlessly insult you daily (email or preferred chat app) for not completing it
3. You send us proof that you completed it
4. We give you a break temporarily
5. Repeat
Maybe charge $25 per month, same as Boss As A Service.
I know this sounds ridiculous but I can't get the idea out of my head. Am I crazy?
Reminds me of this talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2paoNvG5Nmo
You are not crazy. There have been Kvetchers for hire since long before the internet was a thing. They are useful when a business is being stubborn and you can't afford a lawyer, or don't have solid legal grounds.
"Am I crazy?" Yes, but never underestimate what people will pay for.
lol there's already an existing fetish called "Cash Masters" where people get verbally abused and pay their abusers. This sounds pretty similar.
