I'm fishing here. Looking for ideas. You know that old gag where someone glues a quarter to the sidewalk to see who'll try to pick it up? In a sense, the prankster has extracted work from money without spending any. How can this effect be leveraged by someone of average means? This does NOT include interest earned or capital gains, since, in those circumstances the money is at least theoretically being risked. Each answer shall resolve "YES" when I see it exceed 90% or "NO" when I see it fall below 10%. Otherwise by % EOY.

To be clear, fraud is not a good idea, it has clear costs and risks, and I absolutely don’t endorse putting it into practice.

Many lotteries work like this: „Subscribe for a chance to win“ „fill out this form for a chance to win“

Most people who participate will work for free. Same for founding AI startups.
