What's up with the "get paid" page? Are you selling real subscriptions to insider knowledge for people's fictional portfolios?

Actually, I'm not selling anything. The authors themselves get to sell subscriptions to their readers when they gain reputation. Yea, it's fictional, but hopefully it will be a better proxy to their value as compared to outright selling a newsletter subscription.

Plus, authors can only start selling subs after 6 months, and no one would subscribe if their ideas are bad. I'm trying to build a skin-in-the-game kinda system as much as I can with the constraints that I have.

Might need to work on my copy since you didn't get it. :(

FWIW I understood it pretty easily.
