Agree 100%. Not only that - the bloggers were constantly reminding people
about the possibilities. Selling the dream. How many average newbies
or "regular" hackers were on the fence? "Really? Can I get 90000 Alaska miles?
That's a lot! And I don't even fly Alaska, ever."
- "Of course you can!!! It's EASY. Just click my links! You can get 5 cards
in one day!!!!!"

Those greedy sleazy so-called bloggers have destroyed the game.
And they are destroying people's minds making it sound like Krug and caviar
is the "real" travel...

If everything was kept under control, used in moderation, we would still
be having all the perks and options. Go on an amazing trip 3 times a year
and enjoy "free" travel. But it wasn't enough, the real goal suddenly
was to fly F around the world 5 times in one month and get free caviar
