"We decided to focus on online content rather than coaching." Color me not surprised haha (given its a YC company that moved to Mountain View). But I hope they are working on ideas that can really replace or improve the value of an actual human coach. Career coaching has to be really complex in today's changing environment.

&quot;We’ve coached over 200 people, written over 300 articles, and worked with academics at Oxford, to figure out how to have the greatest social impact through your career. The answers aren’t what you’d first think – you don’t have to work at a charity and we won’t tell you to follow your passion.&quot;<p>I&#x27;m not sure that&#x27;s great advice if you don&#x27;t recommend working on what they enjoy and believe in.. Is there more to it?<p>Also, reading your site&#x27;s articles on mobile is pretty annoying with that drop down that sometimes does or doesn&#x27;t cover the top of the screen. I like to be able to scroll up or down to reread.

Can you say something on how do you measure reading time? What is the length of your content? Do you measure 100% only, or also partial reads?<p>Having 50k+ users in July means about 12.5k in the last week, that for 170h reading is 49s reading&#x2F;user on avg. Do I read it correctly?
