I'm not John Oliver, but my startup will be paying $1000 of someone's debt

I think this promotion is a weak piggyback on top of John Oliver, but it got me to read about your company.<p>I <i>love</i> the concept and would be much happier to upvote the company itself than this promotion. I hope you&#x27;re very successful!<p>Edit: I also see now that you posted the &quot;sexual misconduct&quot; article (which I tried to vouch for after people killed it) and that you generally advocate for women here. That&#x27;s also wonderful, and I&#x27;m sure it&#x27;s not fun to have so much vitriol sent your way. I do believe it&#x27;s worth it for the people who come after you and completely support the effort.

Also- just FYI, John Oliver was paying off expired medical debt which was actually very useless and one of the most annoying media exploits of the defaulted debt industry I have ever seen. He didn&#x27;t actually help anyone.<p>Plus he was copying Occupy Wallstreet that paid of 35 mil of actual medical debt for people and forgave it without giving them any credit.<p>#justsayin

Just FYI- this has been part of our marketing plan for weeks- the John Oliver thing is just a coincidence.
