>I'd be surprised if this will be deemed legal
I'm surprised how anyone could think this was a good idea, or even legal. What wouldn't surprise me is an incoming class action.

But if the idea was to 1) create token and 2) YOLO and yeah, lawsuits incoming.
But it could be that they have good lawyers and that it is actually legal (although as I write it I don't believe that, haha)
If the tokens are valueless, then what is it they're offering? If they have value, how are they excused from usual rules?
In any event, the confusion is 100% our fault and we're working on updating the UI and language to be clear based on all the feedback we've gotten. We must do better.
Might I also recommend you update the language on the "tips" overlay itself to remove any implication the money is actually going to the creator when the truth is really that its being held by you, essentially in escrow, until they claim it... which they may never actually do. And even using "tips" to describe the process also seems rather misleading in this case too.
Also, automatically scraping a creator's profile picture and adding it to your own overlay to give yourself the appearance of legitimately representing them is incredibly misleading as well. So might I suggest you stop doing that too.
Thanks for your feedback and suggestions.
