To be clear this is not an ad hominem attack on the author.
She is not doing this because she's starving. Anyone who can front-load $2800 (as she gets paid several weeks, to months, afterward from the sellers) can certainly afford to feed herself. Besides, you can't eat an outdoor plastic bird bath.
To her this is most likely a game... I get it, it's fun, and you get a bunch of random stuff that you don't pay for! As mentioned in the article, "it's Christmas every day". Who doesn't like getting packages?
- MichaelApproved 7y agoIt's not a game. She gets paid cash, in addition to keeping the product, for helping them scam people.
- ceejayoz 7y agoShe gets reimbursed cash, as far as I can tell from the article. She states she's running a loss (if you discount the free (and largely worthless, even dangerous) products) due to a percentage of her "clients" ghosting her.
- MichaelApproved 7y agoYou're right. It's too late to edit and correct my comment but here's the relevant part of the article. > “I really don’t think I’m making money on it at all. I’m pretty sure I’m losing money,” Jessica said while looking over her spreadsheet. “I’m pretty sure I’m at a 10% loss. But I’m okay with it, because I’ve gotten a whole bunch of new stuff.”
- ipython 7y agoTo be clear, I agree that she’s scamming people. But to her she sees this as a game, nothing more.
