This definitely feels like they're advertising using through Streisand effect. Especially as it looks like it's pretty simple for them to get unbanned - don't have a function that allows users to post to both at the same time
> Facebook says it will unblock Tsu if it changes just one thing: Tsu users shouldn't be able to simultaneously post to Tsu and Facebook.
Apparently I signed up to this site at some point in October last year and have since completely forgotten about it. I actually thought there was something dodgy going on at first when my email address was in the login field!
As for the site itself, I think the adverts are a bit much and can definitely see why Facebook sees it as spammy. Don't get me wrong the adverts aren't terrible, but there are at least 4 of them on every page I browsed to - all of which were animated images. I was also unable to reproduce it but there was also a "Sponsored" post under my one single post on my profile which was also animated, excessively so even. I wouldn't go as far as to say it needed an epilepsy warning before it started but it wasn't far off!
I think the problem is that there's money involved. The more people see your post, the more you earn. The more people you invite in, the more people see your post. That's definitely an easy-bake recipe for spam.
Having a browse round (indirectly via Google searches as I somehow signed up without joining a network) I couldn't find any profiles that were there for any other reason than solely to make money on their posts. From what I can see this isn't really a social network, it's a get rich quick scheme..
> The other half of your earned revenue on tsū comes from the growth and activity of your personal social network. One third of all users’ content-generated revenue is passed up to the person that directly invited them to join tsū. A third of the remaining shared revenue will then go to the person that invited that user, and so on.
