I don't understand the economics of this. Professional programmers can easily make more than $65/hr. Reviewing someone else's code can take a lot of time: I spend 10+ hrs/week reviewing code for my team. How would the reviewers or the service make any money if this took off?
If the reviewers aren't really professional programmers this will just be the blind leading the blind. Better to learn how to search StackOverflow and how to ask good questions there if you want free crowd-sourced code reviews.
Maybe, but beginners need a lot more explanation. I can't just comment "use a regular expression" or "remove invariant from the loop" with a beginner. I mentor a beginner programmer now, it's time-consuming, but I get paid full rate for my time.
