Idea 💡

Giving away money is a marketing strategy that will last forever.

Because who doesn't like free money?

You might have a hard time grappling with the idea of literally just handing over your hard-won money to a random internet stranger, but think of it instead as the cost of advertising.

Except instead of paying Facebook or Google, you're paying an internet stranger.
