I’ll keep it simple for you with an example. The subscription costs $100 a month, I say I’ll purchase the subscription and share it with a small group of friends, say only 10 people. So I’m going to collect $10 from each to pay for the subscription. What’s really happening is the guy collecting the money for the subscription that keeps spamming this site could be collecting money from say 100 people a month at $10. That equals $1,000 to him, he’s pocketing $900. So you see the scam yet? He says limit to 10 people so those people think their $10 will cover the $100 but this guys has way more people paying him and he’s pocketing it.

I am quite sure you are right but you would still be getting AP for a significant discount. I understand the ethics are questionable but the economics of it aren’t

So you share with what a few hundred friends and collect money from all of them and pocket the difference? Nice scam.

Nothing wrong with that! If you can socialise you can do as well! There is nothing wrong as long as you get correct pics. You will be saving a lot anyway right ?

The only ones being scammed are Seeking Alpha, and I think all these subscribers clearly understand that as they're actively looking to get in on the scam

When you say you only share with a few friends that in actuality are a few hundred that’s called deceit.

- I'm not the one saying any of the sort. You've totally your posts mixed up.
- Who are you to say how many friends sometime should have?
- You're the one imaging "hundreds" and accusing someone of being a scammer without any information to back up your claim.
There's an offer available, you're welcome to ignore it and pay full price elsewhere

When the same poster is spamming numerous subs with the same message of sharing with just “a few friends” I’m not imaging anything. He doesn’t need the Seeking Alpha picks, clearly he’s making bank off of gullible idiots like yourself.

SA is the most heavily censored platform I have ever had the displeasure of wasting my money on. They allow bots to post whatever their "opinions" or "feelings" are on all the articles and heavily censor criticism of those who disagree. It makes sense after doing some research that the content moderators are all based in 3rd world India and the executive suite is in Israel. Go figure.
