I’m the owner of one of the biggest essay mills. I’m following you on social media since long ago, and at the same time thinking about a way to transform our business into something more straightforward then it is now. Not that I consider this a huge problem – our internal research shows that majority of the customers are either chinese / arabian students who came to US (that’s our market mostly) need these services first year because they are behind the native speakers while the pressure for grades and deadlines is the same. As soon as they adopt, the demand in these services drops drastically. Others are working already “blue collars” and they just need a diploma and woudln’t sudy hard anyways. Some are working moms with several kids, and only a fraction are regular students that cheat because of deadline / grade pressure.
Please contact me if you want to continue a dialogue because I think I have a systematic solution in mind that you’re missing. Maybe this could be beneficial to everyone.
