Fuck no! If it worked the effects would have been documented accidently.

Every high school blood drive would have resulted in a declining death rate in local hospitals. Places with broke college students that can sell blood for $20 year round would have had notiably lower death rates compared to similar communities without it. Hell a liter of blood is a huge amount too, it can't be from 1 person. Which means besides the ABO and Rh+/-, the other 20 blood type groups mixing together in your body is more likely to trigger an auto-immune disease than extend your life.

But it's a great scam. Blood is already stupid expensive, and this would be direct purchase with no obvious way to notice getting scammed.

It's not a scam, the benefits are both obvious and proven. This needs to be banned immediately

Why?

Blood is a renewable resource.

Besides, that's like trying to ban prostitution.

At the very least it ought to be regulated to screen for diseases.
