James Hong, one of the founders of the popular 6 year old picture rating site, came out and spoke about the reasons behind the recent overhaul of their business model. You’ll realise that it’s a piece written from the heart, straight to the point and without beating around the bush.
I have always admired James and Jim for their independence and simplicity…and now for their honesty.
James touches on two things: The state of the online advertising market and the general entrepreneurial setting. He also relates his experience regarding employee policies, hiring, and competitors.
