Geni "research"

Hello.  I have a general question about this website and its usefulness towards genealogical research.  For example:  I enter specific data for one of my ancestors on a particular genealogical web site.  Then, one of the Geni "researchers" copies that data and posts it on the Geni website.  These data subsequently show up when I search for that particular ancestor.

So what is the point?  The Geni "researcher" has not provided any new information.  In fact, all he/she has done is to copy my information without any apparent effort to confirm, correct, or to enhance that information.  Sort of like the tail wagging the dog.

Am I missing something here?
