This smacks of loss aversion. Classic market sentiment and sheep following. Need to sign up before the offer reduces. It's like people joining a queue because they're told there's an enticement worth having at the end, though they've no idea what it is.
I wonder how long before the story gets forgotten and people move on.0 -

Well all I am going to say is, if there's no such thing as a free lunch I would be very very doubtful that there is ever any free money. Might as well save it by buying lottery tickets!... or notBeing polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!

I've read through the various Initiative Q Threads. It was very enlightening to read peoples' various perspectives on it in the initial 'Initiative Q' thread. Here people seem overly critical. On balance I think there's no harm in joining, and I thank Kayalana99 for providing valid counterarguments to the critics... Time will tell. Fingers-crossed!0
