I think it is lame, but also think it is lame to be bothered by online begging.

Seems to be the rage now, and some of these guys are pretty successful in raising money. If you have ever started a business, getting early investors is a very similar process with pitches to the angel investors. In fact I'm surprised somebody hasn't thought of making themselves a "corporation" e.g. give me a free education for 3% of my earnings afterward. It is probably unenforceable.
