There was a video years and years ago where they explained their business model and it has either since changed or they lied. Back then it was that they offered deals through sponsorships or something. I don't remember. It was years ago. What's frustrating is that I remember seeing that video and it definitely made me think it wasn't a scam. Probably had the same effect on a lot of other people too.
