What is the real difference between this and startup companies?

Startup provides you some pay usually (and you're not working for free), these folks are paying for the experience.

Yeah or like a themed university library. I'm sure this kind of stuff is way cheaper in China, but $5 for a desk and food for a day seems good. Gets you out of the house and interacting with people.
