How do you plan on controlling fake profiles ? For instance, if I create a bunch of fake profiles linked to a real profile and I post randomly on some fake profiles, access posts from fake profiles from the others, what could be preventing me from doing this (and keep all the advertising money to myself) ?

I don't plan anything since I'm not affiliated with Tsu =)

I don't know if they thought about it but since their goal is to give back advertising money to users, doing so won't harm anyone other than the user who referred you.

You basically just described what everybody does with Google Ads: Click bots to click their own ads. So if Tsu displays Google ads, it will be Google's problem (or better: the advertisers' problem). (I don't work at Tsu.)
