How do Andrew McClain, Ben Finkel, and Tim Trueman earn income?

Asked by Narl (1814points) November 10th, 2009

I am wondering because I don’t see any advertisements on Fluther (thank God!)

Tim earns income just for being cool.

Looking at their complete names; it makes me feel stalkerish.
I’m gonna go hide now.

Am I the only one who pays dues to use the site?~

The_Compassionate_Heretic's avatar

@petethepothead They pay me. I even get benefits!~

MissAusten's avatar

They get a lot of bribe money from people trying to win those secret awards.

Speaking of which, I know you guys got that hundred I FedExed out there last week so tell me how to get that damn Robot Crush award already!!

@MissAusten

Shoot, get a refund and I’ll tell you for half that~

You don’t think Lurve is free do you? We pay for every point we get, you’ll find out at the end of the month.

Ever see the movie Boiler Room?~

filmfann's avatar

No. They are robots, and don’t need money.
This site is actually operated by the Government, as a way of monitoring subversives.
Oops. Doorbell! BRB.

Do you think it is a coincidence that as soon as I opened this question my computer unexpectedly shut down and I had to restart everything?

oratio's avatar

Oh… this is getting scary.

RedPowerLady's avatar

I know huh? What do you think will happen next. Wait… who.. the… heck… is… that… I think he’s come to take my computer.

@ThePeanutGallery: My boss keeps that movie in his desk. It has – no lie – been used as a training video.

ThePeanutGallery's avatar

I’ve just been banned. It’s been real, everone.

Narl's avatar

Sorry for asking

J0E's avatar

@Narl Don’t be sorry, we’re just having some fun.

oratio's avatar

@Narl Like j0e says. It is a good question. But this is kind of Fluther. Good peeps joking around a bit as well.

RedPowerLady's avatar

@Narl It’s a good question. We are just waiting for the answer, preferably by one of the founders. In the meantime I hope you don’t mind if we have some fun. :)

@Narl

You’ll learn ere long that Fluther’s a front for the CIA.

For every lurve star you earn, some Cincinnati kid gets his wings…no wait, some Third World kid makes another Fluther T-shirt…no wait, that isn’t it either.

I think the Founders may just have their own printing press, and they just print money when they need it.

I know that Andrew and Ben do receive a salary from the site, and that Tim is the first full-time employee of the site. Andrew is also an actor.

Blondesjon's avatar

@augustlan . . . and a recognized rapist.

filmfann's avatar

@Blondesjon That’s not true! I heard he wasn’t recognized!

Psychedelic_Zebra's avatar

@filmfann at least not til the mask came off.

jrpowell's avatar

@Blondesjon :: Interesting, I always thought Andrew would be into Indie Rock. He doesn’t seem like he would into rap/hip-hop.

Dr_C's avatar

The technical term for their profession is “Mangina”...(AKA he-bitch)
Tim was brought on to fill the position of “Male Madam”

Grisaille's avatar

- Prostitution.

- Collecting intel for the CIA.

- Being hitmen ninja assassins.

- Also, I’m sure that nice check they received not so long ago helps a whole bunch.

Narl's avatar

Holy shit! I got a bill in the mail—it says if I don’t pay it, I will no longer be able to log on to Fluther, nor will I be able to walk.

Psychedelic_Zebra's avatar

@Narl Guido (with the personalized baseball bat) is the newest member of the Fluther team. Pay the bill, or there WILL be consequences.

Tink's avatar

@Grisaille Prostitution?!

jeanna's avatar

@Tink1113 Why not? Even fluther gods need lurvin’ sometimes.
