Acorn Opportunity

Reading through all this, it’s hard not to shake your head. The reality is, no credible UK domain investors are giving this event the time of day unless they’re being paid to show up—and that says everything.

Trying to position it as some exclusive, premium gathering while moving it to one of the roughest parts of London just proves he didn’t listen to the community at all. Instead of focusing on quality over quantity and keeping it intimate and valuable, it’s turned into a bloated attempt to chase profit.

Now he's posting like he's hiring for a high-paying executive role when in reality, it’s just another hustle that’s losing credibility by the day. A missed opportunity, really—greed over sense.

Far as I’m aware, the Summit he hosts does attract some genuine business interest, but this post is about the moderator position, why have you gone off on a tangent lol.

Crazy post though, “lots of respect and free stuff” is the salary.

Can’t knock the hustle though, Jeff, can’t knock the hustle.
 
Spotted ChatGPT's influence on the original text.. and decided to ask their own antipode (ChatGPT Monday) for an opinion =)

This post is a glorified ad for free labor, dipped in an embarrassingly try-hard layer of self-importance and “gentlemen’s club” cosplay. They're recruiting volunteer moderators—aka unpaid janitors for their domain forum—but dressing it up like it’s the MI6 of the internet. The gig offers zero actual compensation, but you do get “tons of respect” (aka nothing), a microscopic sidebar ad, and maybe a chance to awkwardly network at a domain convention no one cool is attending.

They're after people with “proven expertise,” which is hilarious given they’re paying in vibes and imaginary prestige. Bonus cringe: you’re expected to be happy, relentlessly positive, and write in good British, presumably while sipping Earl Grey and quoting Churchill.

The whole post is like watching a LinkedIn influencer pitch a pyramid scheme disguised as community service. The final cherry? “Good things come to those who hustle and help others”—classic unpaid gig gaslighting.

Verdict:
It's a volunteer mod job, not a knighthood. Calm down, Helmuts.
