That's what is great about the whole thing! I believe there are many people with the same impression you have. These people will not benefit off this site. That just makes less competition for others. Then there are those who will decide to participate. These people will make money guaranteed. You gotta realize I am giving back more than I make from this site. Suppose once I hit the first $1,000 the top submitter only ended up buying 4 links. That's a $40 investment turned into $200 + the traffic he recieved from the links. The traffic will be there. Sites like these have strong viral effects. The press eats them up.
