Tournament "sitters" that get "paid"

I have been playing in some low value sit-n-go tournaments lately and have noticed there is always at least one (and most times, more) "sitter".  A "sitter" is a player that just sits (or more often isn't even really at the table), and hopes to be one of people who cash at the end because the real players take each other out.  Unfortunately, more often than not they meet that goal.  Look, I truly understand someone not getting cards to play and doing a  lot of pre-flop folding, but I hate players who go into the tournament with a strategy of never playing (or simply sitting out).  That strategy isn't even comparable to the famous "Rope-a-Dope" in boxing where a fighter covers up and hopes the opponent wears himself out taking shots -- in Rope-a-Dope, the fighter must eventually decide to actually fight (play).  I wish this site would do something to actively keep this from happening....not sure how that would work, but hey, they are the programmers.
