There is a badly groomed blogger more like a backpacker who flies F and takes pictures of himself wearing flip flops and torn shorts. Probably has worms by the way he looks.
Don't stereotype.

I'm fairly sure the devaluation is from the singups from cc's. There's no way spending 5k to get at least $650 in value (and if you value ua at 1.5cpm or more), at least $750-1000 is sustainable for the banks.
I would say MS is a very small portion of miles generated.
