Show HN: Practice data science interview questions in a newsletter

Really dark pattern. Essentially this is not a newsletter, but a paid product - without giving the impression on their website or the signup confirmation mail.

I signed up via the "Subscribe Now" bar at the very top, not the premium offering they mention below. The confirmation email reads like this:

Thanks for signing up for Interview Query! We're excited to help you on your journey to landing the data science job of your dreams but before we can do that we need to confirm your email. We'll send you our first data science example question and solution right after!

It contains a link to a "confirmation" page which is in fact a CC form and offers the coice between a 12$ monthly fee or a 200$ one off payment.

Totally fair to take money for curating this - but then don't call it a newsletter, cause it's not.

I signed up today and got the email without paying. I think it's just an upsell.

Interesting. Pretty standard concept and bloated market for software engineering that’s not too common in data science right now. There’s also not really a standardized data scientist curriculum at this point so it’d be interesting if the market is big enough for it to take off.

This is very cool
