That’s not what they paid for, they paid to speak to person x, not person y.

[ErroneousBosh]

Which makes me wonder why Person Y doesn't just spin up their own account, since they've already got warm leads.

[dragonwriter]

Because what Person Y is doing is no more the whole of the job than what Person X is doing, and OF can more easily detect (though its still far from perfect, I've heard) and aggressively cracks down on when the person doing Person X's job is not the person who legally owns the account.

They paid to interact with a computer, and they did. On the Internet nobody knows I'm a dog, and that's ok.

This is not what is advertised, and if it was there would be no money in it.

[boxedemp]

I've been alive for several decades and almost nothing I've gotten was exactly as advertised.

I'm not saying that's good, but it's consistent with reality.

Consistent with what you think of as reality. For all you know, you're being Truman Show'ed.
