Comment on I Eat for Free in NYC Using Python, Automation, AI, and Instagram

This guy lists himself as an entrepreneur, founder of a website that apparently sells influencer marketing. Given he has the skills to do something like this, why not just use those skills to get a job that pays you enough to buy food? If he insists on owning his own business, choose an industry sector where founders don't need to scam local restaurants to stay alive.

The scheme also seems doomed in that I'm hoping the restaurants aren't stupid enough to fall for it twice from the same account. At some point, he's going to run out of places close to him he can still get free food from and be forced to drive into Jersey, costing him more in wasted time, gas, and tolls than he would have spent just buying food.
