PickFu is awesome. However, this business of scamming people into clicking links by using misleading titles seems yucky to me. In this context, the method also exposes its greatest weakness: the most amoral and blatantly false headline will always win out over the factually correct one.
- rishi 16y agoVery true and totally agree. Just because you want clicks doesn't mean you are running a scam. For the most part the option we come up in the end is better explained.
- ddemchuk 16y agoIt's not scamming, it's marketing. The customers aren't committing to anything more than a simple mouse click. Scamming would be telling them they get one thing and then giving them another on checkout or form submit. This is no different than hanging a "50% off everything" sign in front of a store with fine print that says "except for certain marked items"
