To me it sounds like the old rebate "scam".  Even when rebates are thousands of dollars... a lot of the time people just won't send them in.   Regular people, not just real people.

Are you implying that this is a scam? Who moderates the moderators?

Seems you didn't actually read the post.

Rebates create value for the company vs  a price drop because while interesting to a lot of people, most people really won't use it as much as you think.

Just like here, where people think "Omg everyone is going to get 10 times the library for the price."  When in reality, that will happen for almost nobody.  Your average person getting much less sharing value out of it.

 

Point was.  Like a $100 rebate.  It's not actually costing a retailer $100 per sale.
