How does this site make any money?

So this site currently has approximately 47,000 users. Lets say half of those users make ten posts a day. If my lot were to pay those users $0.01 per post, that equals a loss of $235 dollars per day, or 85,000 dollars per year. Even if they paid $0.00001 per posts, thats well actually only 850 dollars per year. It still seems sketchy though, where is all of this money going to come from I have seen hardly any advertisements, If they want to sell the throwaway email address I gave them to a spammer list, then they can go right ahead. Unless of course I have been duped....Has anyone actually recieved a payment from these guys?

do you see the adds on every topic below and at the top. My lot is making money from them, They keep the 99 percent of the profit and giving us the remaining 1 percent. So according to your reckoning the 235 $ per day is the one percent of what they make per day. Now i think that you must be satisfied.

I'll be satisfied when I get a check in the mail. Have you, or anyone you know actually recieved money from this site? It actually makes sense that a site basically giving away free money would draw a lot of traffic, and thus it's advertizing space would be quite valuable. so It would be possible I suppose to pay us and still turn a profit.
