Sure, 'investment'

I'm a western expat in a developing nation, which probably doesn't help, but if I could see some, any kind of, results from proposals I make with free credits, I might accept the argument.

As it is, they are rarely even read, so it doesn't matter how human they are.

I get no actual work out of it, and I'm quite disinclined to pay to make proposals, when I would also have to pay a percent of any actual work I might 'win'.
