@rhondak What about if we made a view worth money, so the investors and content creators can both win ? such that the payout of a pice is based on both votes and views.Look at your piece , you have more views than votes, does that mean you have a hundred people who have consumed your work for free ?
I see the logic in your suggestion, and then I see a whole host of issues that could arise from that. But yes, you are right. Over 200 people now have consumed this "for free," which is exactly what the fuss was about in the first place.
