This is not a particularly high ROI hobby given brainsweat, and has non-trivial execution risk. I do not recommend it to you, especially if you work in tech and/or have a business, because both are better uses of your time.
Something about the combination of something-for-nothing and the fact that the consumer credit industry is so lucrative in the US that it will pay four figures to write to a DB makes it *very* attractive to people, though. I also think vicarious stick-in-to-The-Man a factor.
