Hi @lestatisticien I totally agree with you on this. YouTubers are here just to make money and not here to write or curate. They post on YouTube and link it here to make more money. As to the odd payments seem like nothing we can do at the moment. The system is still not yet democratic enough, Why not put changes to the vote where everyone is equal not according to SP etc...
