I don't know, like Andrew said it's marketing and I don't really care if people use aggressive techniques, like emotional manipulation. Lots of people here use aggressive methods. What I find so disturbing about it is that "marketers" are the ones buying into the hype. And not only noobs. People who've been on there for years still buy into the hype.
If you are willing to compromise your conscience then I think we can learn from the vultures at WaFo and how they have most of the members in a perpetual state of consumption. Some of those guys understand hype and herd mentality very well. And coming off as total losers is part of their gimmick, because they want to relate to their audience.
The only reason I feel offended by it on WaFo is that it affects noob marketers, and I find it kind of pathetic that they're trying to rise above the herd and do something independent, but end up getting tooled more than ever without even realizing.
