- rchaud 3y agoIt's not 2004 anymore, people may need a bit more than your photo and links in exchange for what you're asking.

I accept that there's a certain percent of folks who will not trust me with their address, so I'm not trying to change anyone's mind or pressure anyone into signing up if that's the case. Back when I worked at SaveUp, and we gave real cash prizes to people every day, we always had people claiming we were a scam. We even posted videos to YouTube of our selection and giveaway process, and posted new testimonials to our site every single day, but certain folks simply couldn't be convinced.

People have soured on tech companies ostensibly doing something for the public good; it never works out as it should, because behind companies are investors, and at some point, they'll want returns. The classic example is unroll.me -- auto-unsubscribe with no strings attached*! Asterisk: many strings attached. There's just no guarantee that introducing a middleman won't bite me in the ass later. https://www.theverge.com/2019/12/17/21027159/unroll-me-email-privacy-ftc-settlement https://www.theverge.com/2019/12/17/21027159/unroll-me-email...
