I was thinking of joining Yuwie and saw an article on the web that scared me... this is the conculsion of the article

Quote
Let us be honest here, despite finding some value, Yuwie is not really about friendships, rather it is about money, plain and simple, and I am not talking about money in YOUR pocket. Yuwie is a fraud cloaked in the guise of social networking just waiting for the next dupe.

I don't think it's a scam exactly.....more a marketing ploy. They're trying to make it popular by pretty much paying people to spread it instead of paying for advertising. The advantage of paying people is that they save money because they are paying pennies, litrally, because for all the work you do, you get pretty much nothing. One dollar is probably a high estimate of how much someone would make for getting as many people as they could to join, and waisting all their time. I don't think it's even a very good site.

Hmm, JohnMills, i could not agree with your quote:

because for all the work you do, you get pretty much nothing.
For all the work we do, we get maybe a half Yuwie earnings. (comparing to not paying ones, where we get a total '0'$) If we imagine that Yuwie do share money (not give members all of them), + they split all RSR to 10 referal levels, then not so much really possible to earn alone even if Yuwie would give all money they get for us.
We all probably know that CPM banners could be from 10 cents to 1-2$ (just approximately), so if Yuwie give us back 50 cents for 1000 page views, then i do not think they rob us at all, because if they would give us even all money they earn, we would not be rich in anyway, getting max 10-20 $ a month without any ref. levels.
It is just a price Ad networks give them for our views. And 10 ref. levels give members a chance to earn much more, who want it.

Sure Yuwie is not doing total charity, they earning money, but it is still strange to me that Social Networks, which not giving a pennie to its members, they are called OK and HONEST, but if some of them decide to share some money (which looks definately not enough for members), are called nearly scam. Thats not fair i think. They still give more, than any not paying one. All Social Networks i know are using Ad Networks or selling ad spaces, so they are not better in anyway.

About Yuwie design - well, it could be better of course, but they have time to improve it :) And they do it litle by little.

Yuwie is not a scam! It is really just another typical social networking site.
