>>49609224It's a weird system but basically companies like this sell the promise of something useful to investors (usually chinese firms) and use those investments to pay for absurdly expensive ad campaigns.
Raid exists to mine personal data, which you agree to give it when you accept the EULA, so the whole model is built to
A: Gather data and then resell it to marketing firms so that they appear like they're making money and being successful
B: Appear to be successful so more foreign investment firms through money at you
They throw all their money at advertising because it's more important that their business APPEARS to be successful, than actually is successful. Raid itself is an ad for a model of venture capital, and this shit is catnip to chinese investors because they're constantly looking for an obscure and bank-ensured foreign holdout so they can move money out of china and out of reach of their government.
Somewhere along the line money gets scraped off the top and someone gets a little more rich, but the exact mechanics of the shady stuff varies from grift to grift.
