| Mar 10, 2023 at 10:42 | comment | added | Tetsujin | I heartily agree with this… right up to the end, then you lost me. I'm all for a less toxic experience. I don't really think the remunerative part of the post belongs to the rest of the answer. | |
| Mar 10, 2023 at 10:23 | comment | added | This_is_NOT_a_forum | Re "Reward ... users ...financially": The financially incentive is already perverse today (it is indirect): Paid homework (a sort of corruption), CV stuffing with paid-for reputation points, purchased accounts, voting rings, etc. | |

Re shill accounts, non-issue because methods already exist to detect them -> this is only used to detect multiple accounts that are used to break rules, e.g. to do things that you couldn't do with a single account. There is no problem with me having multiple accounts and asking questions from either of them, as long as I don't "cross the streams" so to speak.

A lot of users appreciated that, not because of its monetary value, but because of at least the recognition of contribution. However, the current trend here doesn't seem to be in the direction of rewarding content creators. | |
| Mar 9, 2023 at 20:28 | comment | added | Ne Mo | One other thing re financial rewards - I am not and never shall be in the category of 100k plus users who I said should be paid. Nor did I suggest that users should have to pay to view se content - se has no problem making money without doing that! | |
| Mar 9, 2023 at 19:03 | comment | added | Ne Mo | I am saying it is immoral for someone to make millions off work that other people do for free. Full stop, no qualifications, no exceptions. You clearly don't agree, which is fine. Re shill accounts, non-issue because methods already exist to detect them... and what would your motive be? To get the authentic new-user-getting-dumped-on experience? | |
| Mar 9, 2023 at 18:35 | comment | added | Dharman | If you want to be rewarded, make yourself available on freelancing site and offer your services there. The whole reason behind the SE network is that users can share unbiased knowledge for free and receive it for free. | |
| Mar 9, 2023 at 18:33 | comment | added | Dharman | That's a big no from me. You are making post scores about users. A post score should reflect the quality of the post, not whether the user who asked it is new or not. Imagine that I open a new account and post a question: should it be treated differently than if I did so from my main account? | |
