Ha! I found your question a couple months ago after youtube hit me with the soloshot ad, and I couldn't figure out how it worked. Despite being downvoted, it still ranks fairly high on the SERP for "how the hell does the soloshot work, their site is useless".

I guess Stack Exchange isn't the place for discussion, just question and answers only

I have no clue why you got downvoted, but then again, I fail to understand the Stack Exchange system and community in general.
