Well it must be satire. It says 451,461, participants. seems like an awful lot for something started last month.

Apparently there are lots of people who signed up just to check it out but never actually added a mechanism to get paid, signaling no intent to actually be "hired" on the service.

Verification is optional (and expensive), so I imagine more than one person thought of running a Sybil attack. If it's an email signup and paid in cryptocurrency, why make a single account?
