Intentionally misconstruing what others say is something best left for Reddit.
This seems like a ... sidegrade.
Although, if housing in Boston tends to be of lower quality than SF housing, might that not put extra demand on the more recent and presumably nicer housing?
I'm excited that I can hop on and use Privacy but it seems like it's more of a feature than a product.
With Airbnb, I don't think anyone expects them to pivot into owning their own property. There's no real benefit.
There was definitely a period where the average quality of a comment seemed higher. But those times also coincided with the rise of novelty accounts, power user personalities, often with foul sounding names and awful subreddits. Drama over subreddit bannings is nothing new, either.
Honestly, I'm enjoying the website more today now than I was a few years ago.
Which, I suppose, is the same thing the people say about The Simpsons.
Looks like Lukas might have missed your response but I can jump in. We definitely love to work with the little guys, too. Nothing is more interesting than the use cases that academics and startups come up with. You should reach out to Lukas via e-mail (he shared it elsewhere in this thread) or our sales team (http://www.crowdflower.com/platform-plans) to talk specifics.
We've also got a trial that will let you process 5,000 rows of data without having to worry about a paid plan. It's not time limited, either, so you can take as long as you need to go through those first 5,000 photos of yours.
You might want to check out a recent blog post up about a photo keyword gen job run by one of the guys at CF: http://www.crowdflower.com/blog/how-i-got-the-crowd-to-gener...
