Let's just say you're realistically going to need to get the full 20 for this to be worthwhile (for the 2x point multiplier).

So chojin needs 20 referrers.

Those 20 need 20 of their own... 400
Those 400 need 20 of their own... 8000
Those 8000 need 20 of their own... 160,000
Those 160,000 need 20 of their own... 3,200,000
Those 32,00,000 need 20 of their own... 64,000,000
Those 64,000,000 need 20 of their own... 1,280,000,000
Those 1,280,000,000 need 20 of their own... 25,600,000,000

Aaaaannnnd we've run out of people in the world within 7 levels. Well that's fine. Most people aren't going to get the 2x multiplier. But you can still get the big screen TV. All you need to do is log in every day and answer the daily question for 2.05 years. Clearly that's not something you're going to get bored of within a month and it's not like the following sentence is in their terms and conditions:

Pointz are only valid until the end of the current calendar year and do not roll over into the following year unless specifically agreed upon by Lockerz.
...waaaaaait a minute.

But you can still get games and shit! Why wouldn't they give you items with a high monetary value for doing nothing? What motive would people on the internet have for offering you things for free which are obviously worth more money than they could possibly be making from you accessing their site every day?

But they've got a good track-record. It's not like a new unproven site or anything. It's not like they could get a shit load of people sending out invites then change the rules or run the site with high-traffic for a few months, make all their money then shut it down before sending out a single reward.

No, no. This is is a foolproof way of getting a new TV if ever I saw one.

Well like I said faggot, it's mostly just good for a free game after a week or so. You can also just make tons of gmail accounts and then invite them to get points, which is what I did. Bonus points if you own 6+ domains like I do and can create lots of emails for each of them.

Make their money how? There are no ads and nothing you even can buy if you were so inclined. Let's say one day it becomes a site with TONS OF ADS. What's that worth these days, 0.05 cents a pageview? Which they'll collect on once per account, if they're reaaaaally lucky?

It's a viral promotion for the official launch of their site in the fall. They're willing to drop some capital in exchange for some early hype and buzz. It's marketing 101 and I'm inclined to believe them on it simply because they CAN'T make money off of this as it stands.

The biggest heel move they could pull is selling the e-mails to a spam network, split the profits among the founders, and close the business; but the corporate shield doesn't protect against blatant fraud and there are enough people on this network that someone would sue. Even if they got a nickel for every account and they had 3 million accounts, that'd be $150,000 - split among a few people, and which on its own wouldn't cover their server fees for the life of the project.

The entire point is that this WILL be over soon, so you might as well get your free vidja game while you can.
