From the article, after adding Gamification:

> Before I knew it, the conversion rate from new user to active user ( level 3+ ) skyrocketed from 5% to 45%.

And also:

> Users could share their referral link and get a 10% cut of the ad revenue from every app the referred user makes, forever. For example, if user A brings in user B, and user B makes an app that brings in $10/day, user A would get $1 every day without lifting a finger.

Pyramid scheme or just Multi-Level Marketing?

Neither. It's a standard affiliate program. Even Amazon has one, although it doesn't pay forever.

It's just 2 layers if I read it right. You don't get a cut for referrals of referrals. Seems like decent marketing to me.
