I'd be fine with a new definition that made them illegal, or at least put such heavy truth-in-advertising laws on them that nobody in their right mind would bite given the real numbers you can expect. They're absolutely exploitative.

I probably made the mistake of speaking a little too specifically for the US situation, though. Here, the criteria are (modulo nuance) roughly what I said for the FTC to care.

I thought some government office made them disclose how many people made how much, but it doesn’t really do much to shut down the scams.

At some point you have to give up.
