No. What I said was "Now, I am only new and it still feels like a pyramid scheme to me."
It's a separate sentence to the following one which talks about generating money. I never said it was a pyramid scheme. I never said it was a scam. I said it still felt like one (because it's new, the unbridled enthusiasm by some users, various articles saying is was a scam and the various charlatans on the platform making extraordinary claims about earning potential).
This posting was a response to some of those claims and to gather wider perspectives, such as yours, on the matter.
