He found a pile of people looking for a job, and willing to perform a set of tasks for a certain price. Nowhere was it disclosed that this was a one-time deal, and by proceeding they would be forever limiting the upside of their personal economic prosperity.

If you disclosed to these people that this is a one-time transaction, and that they will forever be parting ways with their only allotment of currency which might appreciate in the future, and which is currently valued 50X higher, I bet you wouldn't get as many takers.

I think most people are aware you're only allowed one Facebook account thus the fact that it's a one-time deal is implied.

I also think most of the turks probably thought it a good trade: $1-2 USD for 5000 funny money. I imagine most turks, like most people, aren't familiar with cryptocurrencies and the only way they will ever hear of Stellar again is if it becomes so commonplace that the giveaways are long a thing of the past.

Compared to the rates that the other MT tasks pay, I think they made out pretty good.

That it's a one-time deal sounds like a failure on Stellar's part.
