Yeah, I know David *HUGS*. The way it is though if based on views, since as of right now, I can view my own crap & that view counts either logged in or not.
Somehow in trying to prevent the cheats, the good ones get punished instead.
To me, videos & artworks are different than content (as in things other people can use as opposed to look at). I wouldn't think it would be that difficult to set up a per-download-payout for content & a per-view-payout for videos/images but then I would have no programming input for that. I leave programming to my older brother.
