They bring you along because they can get some more xp with you in the group.

They literally get a referral bonus in the form of tax credits, etc…

And in some places they actually pay you for having children.

I wouldn’t call it sharing… don’t know about you but where i live you pay less taxes when having a child, and i’ve never seen a service make you pay less to share it.

That’s taxes. Life in general though, well that’s literally sharing.

The joke was that someone else was paying for it.

Parents pay more sales tax on things like diapers, clothes, etc.

I know I just thought the free trial would be more accurate.

I haven’t thought about sales taxes, i guess you do pay more taxes if you count those.

Although not really similar to a subscription in that case.

Do you enjoy roads, indoor plumbing, or schools? I can assure you that the “invisible hand” does not care about those things

You’re talking about the Premium Tier, which is currently still invite-only.

To clarify, that million isn’t what you paid (you can easily pay more than that), it’s what you’re “worth”.

I don’t think I got that free trial. Where I live, pretty much everyone pays taxes regardless of their age.

When you were 5, you personally paid a yearly income tax of some kind?

Stuff like VAT or sales tax, which you probably weren’t paying either, don’t count since they were talking about yearly taxes.

Child actors and actresses pay income tax. Children who work in family businesses often make a wage and are taxed on that.

OK, do you think it’s likely either of those apply here?

Technically yes, but did you go to work to earn money to pay taxes as a child?

No. But technically speaking, ididnbgo to work to earn money to pay taxes as an adult either. So I’m not sure where this line of questioning is going.
