What do you know about ewhoring, /g/?
I'm thinking of going for a soft approach and just harvesting email addresses for my online business.

How about you just "brute force" email addresses?

It's not a business for people with a sense of shame.

Sample ewhore conversation:
CHODE #346: hi
MEWHORE: hey ;)
CHODE #346: huh-hyuk ur purdy
MEWHORE: can i have ur email address? i have an old computer ;_;
CHODE #346: sure lol
I could copypaste those lines. Actually easier than typing out a random address, and thousands of times more effective.
How do you actually get money out of someone once you're talking to them?

I've never succeeded. My guess is most of the direct cash comes from playing the long game and building a relationship, or outright blackmail.
Short game in ewhoring means getting them to sign up for something or complete a survey for you to "prove they're legit." Sometimes picture sales.
Often Amazon wishlist purchases - morons with their dick in one hand and their credit card in the other really like Amazon wishlists.

Barely tech related, GTFO

The payoffs are pure /g/: internet banks, pay per click, pay per install, viral marketing, email harvesting.
I'm curious how people make it profitable on the technical end.
