Joovier interviews the developer of Drip.Then dude did a super poor job of explaining. You don't need to recruit or get others under you, it's a completely optional aspect of the project. I ran solo for months before I got my fam in. You only need a wallet address or buddy to deposit your tokens. That wallet can be the tax wallet or anyone else in DRIP. As to why it's set up this way, the vid does a great job of explaining. Again, it's cool to be skeptical, but definitely do more research. Hell, jump in the telegram and ask any questions you want. The dev is in there all day. You can ask him directly.
