There are adverts about games that say you can generate ridiculous amounts of money just by doing/playing x. Although this is obviously not efficient for the user, how do companies that claim these things gain profit?

They’ve calculated that the economic profit is worth giving you the money to do X. Say you invite 10 friends and they give you $1. Well if they can convert 20% of new users and the average user spends $10, they’ve theoretically just earned $2. So they get to keep a dollar after giving you a dollar.

That’s just the 5 year old explanation btw. It can get very complex.
