I think anytime there is a money component/earning potential it encourages people to employ less than ideal (sometimes shady) practices to increase their earnings. Sure their intentions are good (to earn more for their content), however, greed can drive people to do things they might not otherwise do. I've only been on the site for a day, and I have to agree with some of the other commenters that quality content is hard to come by on the site. One could say quality content should offer better rewards, but then, how do you not only define what that quality is but also, who gets to decide? I do agree that the earnings issues will have to be addressed to make it fair for all. But then again, is there ever a system that is truly fair to all?
