I guess it could be entertaining for people who have so much money they don’t know what to do with it.

I file it under “gambling” category.

What if you get injured? What if something comes up and you won’t have time to achieve a goal? The list goes on and on and on…

I can only see wealthy people with not enough things to worry about in their lives wanting to use it.

I feel like charging fee for it is unethical and borderline scam.

Also, it gives me “solution in search of a problem” vibes.

This is between friends (maximum 5) so I’m sure the answer is: work it out with your friends.

If I was using this with friends for say, exercising each day, and one guy was in a car accident, I’m confident we’d all give him a pass and return his money.
