It reminds me a little bit of PG's essay on Yahoo: http://paulgraham.com/yahoo.html

I don't think it's quite as bad or blatant though.

Yea! I saw pg's essay posted after I wrote this, and I noticed that he makes the same kind of argument. He calls it a pyramid scheme, but a ponzi scheme is a closer metaphor.
