Way Yuwie can ruin your life number 5: Spamalot anyone?

Due to the Pyramid Scheme set-up of Yuwie, where users get paid to refer their friends and family to the site, many members are flooding their friends' and families' inboxes with multiple requests, pleas, and bribes enticing them to "sign up for Yuwie and start earning today." Prompting Yuwie's Y-Guy to post the following bulletin:

Stop Spamming!!!

We're glad you're excited about Yuwie, and we're glad you want to help us spread the word, but the spam has to stop. It is causing problems with mail delivery and it is giving Yuwie a bad name across the internet. If we don't get the spamming under control, we'll have to lock down the referral process to where the only way to get a referral will be by sending an invitation from the site. We don't want to do this, but we can't afford to have a bad reputation either. Spamming is against our terms and will cause your account to be locked, if you're reported for it, so please don't do it.

The present continuous form of the verb "to spam" is continuing to be the fifth way Yuwie can ruin your life.

Way Yuwie can ruin your life number 4: If I have three referrals per day, how many chickens will I have by the end of the month?

Spending the money Yuwie predicts you will make before the money actually makes it to your account will not only make you feel broke, but stupid as well. But who would spend money they haven't made yet, you ask? How about the millions of sub-prime mortgage defaulters who helped sink the American economy?

Being a beta tester for bankruptcy bounces in like a rubber check as the fourth way Yuwie can Ruin your life.

Way Yuwie can ruin your life number 3: You just love me for my page views!

Turning friendship into commodity, especially a low paying commodity (0.00005 cents per page view) has prompted people to put page view profit potential over the personal feelings of their pen pals - say that three times fast. Now one must wonder: With every page view, with every comment, does this person really like me or am I just one big $0.00005 to him?

Becoming 0.00005% of the root of all evil is the third way Yuwie can ruin your life.

Way Yuwie can ruin your life number 2: It pays to be popular - A return to two themes explored in "The Top 10 Ways Myspace Can Ruin Your Life."

View All Friends: Yes, people do view all the people you added as friends. As the old saying goes: Lie down with dogs; wake up with flees. Keep adding the webcam girls, the half-naked guys from Argentina... way number 5 that Myspace can ruin your life.

9,864 Friends: Nobody has this many friends in real life. You have just announced to the world that you are desperately seeking electronic approval, because you could not find any in the physical world... The third way Myspace can ruin your life.

Now, with Yuwie you have a legitimate reason to befriend 9,864 porno site portals. After all, the money made on Yuwie doesn't depend on the quality of the people visiting your page, only the quantity.

And the second way Yuwie can ruin your life is... Going once! Going twice! Sold: Your standards and integrity to the "Y" shaped man in the back for $0.00005.

Way Yuwie can ruin your life number 1: Oh, the humanity!

Myspace, Orkurt, Facebook, Friendster, and their entire ilk have long been know as breeding grounds for stalkers, online predators, scam artists, and hate groups. There is nothing new in Yuwie's design that will keep these "evil-doers," or George Bush for that matter, out of the network. What's worse is that, unlike the other socializing sites, Yuwie, and you, if you happen upon their page, contributes to the financial well being of pedophiles, neo-Nazis, terrorists, and possibly worst of all...shudder...W.

Inadvertently making the world a worse place one click at a time is the number one way Yuwie can ruin your life.

    THE WORST THING ABOUT YUWIE IS THE "ALL-CAPPING" COMIC BOOK CREEPS- SUPERCREEPS- ON THE SITE . EVERYONE HATES THEM . EVERYONE CANT STAND THEM .PEOPLE HAVE LEFT IN DROVES BECAUSE THEM. THEY HAVE THE IQ OF A BOX OF ROCKS BUT ARE GIVEN CARTE BLANC OF THE SITE UNTIL NOW ITS JUST A GHOST TOWN . DID I MENTION THEYRE HATED BEYOND BELIEF? THEYRE TROLLS , THEY FLAME. THEYRE IDIOTS, WANNA-BE-THUGZ. AND THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SHEER CRAPPINESS OF THE CRAPPY SITE IS THEM AND THE MANAGEMENT THAT ALLOWS IT.....

    I SEE ALOT OF PEOPLE BELOW TALKING ABOUT YUWIE WHEN I AM A MEMBER AND IT IS A GREAT SITE TO MAKE FRIENDS AND HAVE FUN.

    IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO GET RICH - THIS SITE IS NOT MADE FOR THAT - THIS SITE IS MADE TO MAKE FRIENDS - KEEP IN CONTACT AND HAVE FUN.

    IT SEEMS THAT MEMBERS LIKE THIS ONE BELOW (DEBRACAREY) COMPLAINS ABOUT IT BECAUSE SHE IS NOT LIKED ON THE SITE.

    SHE DID NOTHING BUT TALK BAD ABOUT MEMBERS AND PUT THEM DOWN AS WELL AS THE SITE SO NO ONE WOULD GO VISIT HER

    IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A GREAT SOCIAL NETWORK SITE THEN COME ON BY AND CREATE A ACCOUNT ON YUWIE

    YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT

    YOUR FRIEND
    LOOK UP =)

    cont.

    any number of things could get you locked on Yuwie, showing to much skin, or spamming the notice board. Now, it seems that favoritism is the buzz word as members with extensive downlines can do as they please. The site's administrator asks for proof in the form of screen shots but rumor has it that screen shots sent do no good. Greed has overrun what was a great site.

    I joined Yuwie back in Aug. of 2007. I quickly learned that you must be an internet marketing expert to make any money to speak of. Nevertheless, I stayed because of the helpful, talented, and creative friends I met there. I also love to write and it seemed my blogs were well received. It was fun and I had an outlet for my creativity. I added friends...not for page views but as a way to get my blogs read and in the process met some excellent people.
    I am now an inactive member. (can't bear to totally delete my profile) Why am I inactive? I got tired of dealing with the bullys, the greedy, and the cheaters. What used to be a friendly helpful place with tons of creative happy people is now just a place where one or two egos with extensive downlines (gotten under suspicous methods) run amuck. Greed and avarice have ruined Yuwie for me! It is my opinion that the site's administrator has either given up or is playing favorites. In the early days of Yuwie...any number of things could get y

    Yep I've been a member of yuwie and zenzuu and I haven't earn a dime as yet. With yuwie you have to work your butt off to really make some money there and zenzuu I have been waiting for a year to get paid. So far I've been able to join six degree's where it really pays its members. You're paid every 2 weeks and it's free to join.

    I think you are type of guy who likes to go on facebook or myspace.

    You don't need to spam but invite friends, that's it. For anything in internet, some people make a lot of money.

    I love Yuwie
