Creating value is hard and "standing out creating value" is harder. So they take the easy road. Friend, Thank you. Yes, I am sure you can keep "tricking" people into sign up for your service. But why not put all your efforts into creating something remarkable and change the world for the better? Best, Raj Dimitar, thank you.

They're exploiting the quantity of users instead of creating something of value. This reminds me of the English Theory of Value during the Industrial Revolution: <i>The English created value through innovation and technology, so they had an Industrial Revolution. The Spanish exploited the new world, yet they never created anything of value. So all they got was an inflation - too much gold and too few goods.</i> Instead of choosing to stick out from the crowd, those guys chose to stick to a cliche that only ruins their image.
