Is Eobot really a cloud mining service?

With the help of the article from @cfrederic, which you can read here, I recently started on Eobot  and "purchased" a cloud mining contract for free. I thought that the service is going to mine for me day and night, after all, it's running in the cloud. But that did not happen.

Eobot works only when my computer is running. I'm seriously wondering what that has to do with cloud mining. Why do I rent computing power on a foreign computer when this computer works only for me while my own computer is running? And why the hell do I pay 30 percent of the electricity and maintenance costs if the foreign computer does not work for me day and night? I'm sorry, but I just do not get it.
