It's not "just created by another user," it's created by the owners under multiple false names meant to give the impression that it's multiple people (sock-puppeting) and that those people are not the owners (literal shilling.)

It's an obvious fraud, but the law is probably far behind. Who would sue unless there were some financial risk involved, and without financial risk who would even have standing to sue?

What would even be the basis for a lawsuit? It's just content on a forum site.

If you squinted real hard you'd claim that your time was wasted, and then value your time as a function of revenue earned from your views, and set up a class action suit for everyone who had ever viewed that site and been thusly defrauded.

.......and promptly win about $1.98 in the process.

People are assuming it’s a part of financial fraud. Which it obviously isn’t.

It’s akin to putting a fake pic on a dating website as far as I’m concerned.
