There is a big difference between a worthless product and a scam.

I'm not so sure there is, not if we are talking about a moral compass. Sure, we can make a dividing line between what is legal vs. illegal. But being legal doesn't make it ethical, so the difference between a worthless product and a scam feels fairly subtle to me.

Well, if you don’t think there is a big difference between legal and illegal things we might have to agree to disagree.
