If you've got a powerful GPU in your machine, it may seem like a bit of a waste to leave all the computing power sitting in the background, doing relatively little at idle. In which case, Salad, a company that offers game codes, gift cards, and other items in exchange for users GPU resources, might seem like a reasonable way to put your machine to work.

I doubt that these "game codes, gift cards, and other items" are worth more than the additional electricity costs and the additional "wear and tear" of your GPU and other PC components, higher temperature in the summer, unnecessary noise...

The electricity cost may not be a problem for some. I don't know how it's called in English, but some people pay a fixed amount each month, no matter how much electricity they use, and if they do it while at work, noise is also not a problem.

Wear and tear is the biggest concern but, once again, we don't know what kind of user they can be. Maybe they're the kind of people that get new cards each gen, and so they won't use the cards enough to deal with that kind of trouble.
