Comment on My friend on social refuses to see how this is a pyramid scheme
Primarily0617@kbin.social 1 year agobut pay it forward can work in theory
this can't even work in theory because books entering the system 1 at a time and leaving the system 36 at a time requires 35 books to be conjured out of thin air

I think the idea here is that 36 people send 1 book and you could be the recipient of the other 35 you didn’t send since you’re all on the same list and everyone is choosing a recipient at random.

how could you know the total participant count is 37 ahead of time if you're currently looking for sign ups
also, a book exchange of 37 people doesn't strike me as particularly "huge"
