jesus, why am i always getting bogus emails from sites like these? i’ve never had a geniune “match” from any of them. their sole purpose seems to be to sell ads and get people to do all that insidious viral marketing stuff that corporations seem to like so much these days.
how it REALLY works: you get an email claiming that somebody has an “e-crush” or “i-crush” or “v-crush” or “x-crush” on you. you then sign up to receive (for FREE!!!!) loads of spam. after signing up, you wanna know who supposedly has this hip buzzword for you, so you are asked to enter the email addresses of as many people as you possibly can, in hopes of finding that “match” (hint: the address you’re REALLY looking for starts with “devnull”). then THEY get the same lousy spam you just did, only since none of them generated a match for YOU, you probably already deleted them off your list. so they’ll end up entering thousands of addresses, hoping to guess that special someone that doesn’t exist, which results in spam going to all of those addresses in turn. lather, rinse, repeat.
