No, I've never seen anyone offer that as proof, of course, as that would be just as ridiculous. I have seen people question why a site would rig the deal for those reasons, though.

So, I assume your answer is "zero"? That's the correct answer, FWIW.

I've never seen anyone suggest they had proof that a site isn't rigged, because it is of course impossible to prove that negative. You could try to disprove a single rigged theory, but then countless more could be produced for one to disprove, and on and on it would go.
You know what could be proven, though? That a site
is rigged. And yet, no one is ever able to.

I think you are ascribing a great deal more emotion than exists for most posters.

Now suppose instead, you just get in $50 and lose, 4 different times over the next half hour. The site has now made $10 from your $200.
These are just two scenarios from thousands of possible ones, of course. But the point is that artificially getting people all-in isn't necessarily beneficial to them - in fact, it's likely detrimental. If a site were to rig the deal to make more money, they'd want people trading money back and forth all day long, in smaller pots. Less noticeable than big pots, and more profitable for them.
Or they could just deal a normal game and enjoy the substantial revenue that already provides them.

I don't recall seeing any proof. Would you be so kind as to link us to said proof?

LOL, yes there would be. There are millions of words written on all sorts of ridiculous things; that doesn't make them true.
What you should be asking is why there are all these pages, and zero proof provided. Oh, I mean aside from whatever proof you're going to link us to now.
