They're going to pay thousands of homeless people to register for the fan clubs of how many artists? Nevermind the logistics of the hiring, the payment alone eats into the margin.
- nayuki 3y agoWhen you're rich, you can do that. Being rich, by definition, means having more options available to you. That's really what money is - a transferable token to persuade other people to do stuff on your behalf.
- lizknope 3y agoIf the scalpers pay homeless people 10% of their profits rather than taking 100% then that's still better than the current situation.
- TeMPOraL 3y agoThis gets more complicated as they may go after gig economy workers first. They're a perfect target: the scalper's deal would have better reward/effort ratio than Uber, DoorDash, Deliveroo, et al.; gig workers look "normal" in ways homeless don't, and are desperate for cash to keep them from becoming homeless. At that point, would scalper's contribution be net positive? Net better than it was? I'm not sure how to answer that.
