Those guys sound just like those late late night infomercials you would see back in the 90s if you fell asleep in front of your tv and woke up at one am with the thing still on. Except back in the 90s nobody took those infomercials seriously. Now apparently people's defenses are down. And they take those scumbags seriously.
So here we again have the general malaise of western culture -- the fact that everything is done for money and more and more of the culture is based on tricking the content consumer into spending money. Have you ever wondered, for example, why in modern culture the paragon of femininity is considered the ability to shop for a lot of expensive stuff that you do not need and the paragon of masculinity is considered to be gambling. When you think about it those are both ways to lose a lot of money fast.
So culture or content is more and more centered on the ability to trick the consumer to lose money for no good reason and the smarter consumers try to grow an internal resistance to these tricks and the dumber ones fall prey to them.
