I’ve read quite a lot critics from various people in different posts about this proposal, so it’s definitely not “a few voices”. You are again underestimating, just like when you underestimated the community factor in listings, articles etc.

You already have some big whales votes, so there is really not much a regular plankton/minnow/dolphin can do about this proposal. And this is really not good. Something needs to be changed about this proposal system.

I really have nothing personal against you, I just share my opinion about this. I do think you did a good job, and you should be rewarded. But I just dont agree with the way you have done it, and I think the amount is out of proportion:

• asking for things you have done in the past, without noticing/letting know that you expect being paid. Your argument “want to be paid after I have shown value” doesnt make any sense.
• the fact that you valued past work yourself. If you come up with a price for future work, that would be something to consider for the community. But now you’ve put a price, and dont want to do anything about it.
• that you said you wanted to create this proposal instead of getting high rewards for your posts. So it’s one way or the other, but you WILL get it?

For the last time...
Thank you for all the work you have done and will do. I appreciate your hard work and your achievements.

But I’d prefer knowing beforehand what we are up against instead of this whole thing coming as a surprise afterwards.

If you can organize, estimate things better in your future proposals, keeping in mind the lessons learned from this one, there is no reason for me not to support.
