I think it could be a good feature like if you have to go to the bathroom while in supercruise you could have a ED pro take over for a few cents a minute to watch for signal sources. I hope they spend more time on core mechanics like this instead of stupid atmospheric planets or new exploration tools aka empty gameplay
Would you pay someone to play the game for you?

What a strange game. The only winning move is not to play.

Above sums up the whole idea of paying other to play my game. I play games because I want to. Playing gives me pleasure. With paying for playing I'm not getting what I expect, what's more - I'm loosing money. True, in the end you'll get rank/credits/ships. But for me it's more the race than finish that matters.
And a bit controversial part:

As an aspiring playboy, would you pay other people to ... take care of bed activities... with all those sexy girls so you can, in the end, say you "scored" x-amount of girls?

Well, botting is something of a problem in other MMOs, where a third party uses automation to level up characters that are then sold on to players who couldn't be bothered to grind to the endgame. Maybe OP is alluding to this?

Hehehe...nice!
OP has included /s - hence he knows it's a stupid idea not worth debating!
Mods? Time to close, surely!?
Lol but not everyones you.
Where's the sense of achievement in that? Just the same as P2W.
Symptomatic of the 'I want it all, and I want it now' mindset. Or as I like to call it, Queen Syndrome.
EDIT: Thought it would be fun to play devil's advocate.
If I could work from home (I'm an IT techy, most stuff done via remote desktop) and make extra income from such players, I'd be all over it.
There are ways to get round the security issues - the payee CMDR is a super-user, and creates a user account for the service user. Service user only has very limited, logon only, rights. Fairly common in backend support systems.

this has to be the daftest idea I've heard in a LONG time. Basically it's a pay to win just instead of paying FDEV to get the creds your paying someone to attempt it on your behalf.
Surely the idea is to play the game when you can this would show as time progresses how your doing.
Holes are:
1) sharing login details - never a good idea
2) Say you earned enough to get a corvette - you didn't gain the skills to use it so when you do your asking for a whooping.
3) It would leave a bad taste in the community if this ever became a thing.

Can I not just pay you to do my work whilst I play ED?
No.
So please explain. I guess its a reddit thing?
I always hire people to play all my games for me and then I hire people to uninstall the games the other people have played for me.
I wish I could hire people to pay for all the people that play the games other people payed for me so I can hire the people who get payed to play the games people play.
If that doesn't make sense, to me neither does the question of the op.

There are various ways to indicate sarcasm, most have been around for a very long time (long before Reddit).
So could get mean skills by not playing the game?
Stop trying to turn this game into Eve Online!!

Ahh, Eve Online.
I don't think I ever watched as many movies and TV shows as I did while 'playing' Eve Online...
I'd never played a game that required me to select a movie to watch before starting it.

I tried that once. I kept overshooting my targets, or bouncing off things. Lol
I don't recommend it.

I don't know why, but your post annoys me quite a bit.
So, instead of playing the game, you first decide to grind instead of having fun, and then actually pay money to someone to do it for you? You represent everything I dislike on today's gamers' mentality. May I ask how old are you?
