If you "discover" something so simple, don't see people using it already, and don't see most(!) people getting totally excited after learning to know about it, then you know it's some kind of scam. It's not clear who is scammed and how. Maybe the guy is scamming himself into believing he has a meaningful job. Who knows. But you can now consciously decide if you want to participate in any role (scammer, victim, police) of that game or simply move on with your life.
