Why it matters here

This analysis provides an independent, on-chain measure of the money flowing into the programme, rather than relying on figures supplied by its promoters. It documents the scale of paid sign-ups and the use of cryptocurrency as one payment channel, which is relevant background when weighing how the programme presents itself and what members receive for their fees. It is cited on is The Real World legit? and on can you get a Real World refund? as context on the revenue behind the paid membership model, to be read alongside sources on the programme's terms and member experiences.
