Thanks for writing this. I still have mixed feelings though. I am suspicious of "altruistic behavior." If someone wants pay $10 for well written stories and pictures to post here isn't he just giving the voters what they want? Why are we paying $1,000 for a picture of cute girl and a story you could pay someone to write(or take) for $5. Isn't that the problem? If the market price of something is out of whack, the market will supply it until the price comes down. Acting altruistically just papers over the issue of overvalued content. I think if anyone finds something profitable to do here, let them do it. Sure expose the catfish and ruin the rep but negative voting seems like altruistic gesture that goes to far. Just my thoughts.
