Can anyone give some insight into these really shitty cookie-cutter accounts on places like Instagram that will just post "double tap to see magic" shit and refer you to downloading some apps to make them money? How are these things profitable?
Then there's also the people who just re-upload bits from Family guy on to YouTube and make tens of thousands of dollars doing it. They all have some shitty little brand they try to push out with bots all over the Internet, and while I can see them being profitable, are these realistic strategies to make money?
Really /biz/? No meme analysts?

1. it's unlikely people are making "tens of thousands of dollars" off stolen clips. If so, it's not many people.
2. of course the strategy pays, or people wouldn't do it.
3. It doesn't necessarily pay much, in fact it probably pays very little. But to a starving man in India it's worth it to do all that work for very little.
4. Strategies like this only work briefly, so you have to take your pittance and move on.
so to sum up:
there's very little money in it and it's not going to last into 2018. Just like most things internet.

Usually the app doesn't actually exist. What they do is, they tell people that they must watch/click a bunch of ads and fill out a bunch of surveys on a website. Once the people have done that, they get a message saying that the app will become available when they share the website with others. They never get the app and the website makes a lot of money

Scaled across their network of shitty content it's probably quite profitable
>Then there's also the people who just re-upload bits from Family guy on to YouTube and make tens of thousands of dollars doing it.
That shit is feast or famine though, I doubt they make tens of thousands, google is notoriously scougish with their ad dollars
> are these realistic strategies to make money?
Realistic? Yes But they are very time and capital intensive, there's another thread on internet marketing where a guy suggested a few things that may be relevant to you
