No, because those accounts must pay. They obviously thought this through. Also, remember, those infected accounts may opt to infect others instead of paying, so on average you may have to infect more yourself. You'd better hope you have rich/desperate 'friends'!

They aren't talking about exactly meeting an average, they are talking about getting an initial average and then dumping anyone under that who doesn't provide a better score. This of course bumps up the average as well...
Is that along with the Flat Earth videos, Jackie Onassis was an alien videos, the Earth was created 6000 years ago videos, the Pyramids are beaming mind control waves all over the Earth videos, or the Hillary Clinton double-crossed the Devil videos?
Because there are numerous successful happy northern European countries that rather belie that assertion.
In Romania, the Securitatae would expect you to immediately report to them if you spoke to any foreigner. If you didn't, you can be sure some informer would let them know and you'd get a far less sympathetic visit.
Regardless, for many people who aren't heavy (internet) gamers, this could really help, and would force a lot more competition hopefully. A good way to get around the last mile issue!
