Omg, why would anyone pay for something like that?

I admit I had some problems in the start, my time did not update accordingly to my browsing - but then I just set autorefresh on one of my tabs in firefox, and let that sit for 4 hours.

If that site would offer insta-jailskip I would understand, but its the same 4 hours wait

I think the general argument (from what I can tell from reading the newbies subforum) is that not everyone has 4 hours to actively use the forums. Sitting still on a single page for 4 hours does not constitute visiting for 4 hours afterall. The site says it's 0.01BTC which is about $1 right now. I've seen people pay 3 BTC just to troll me personally and some people pay 50 BTC just to run libel campaigns against Ripple, so obviously everyone here values things differently.

I believe that especially for a "Business" account you should be able to spend the 4 hours browsing. Think of it as time used to plan your ad campaign or doing market research.
