this is not how compensation for writers works, generally, and also the whole idea is to break a traditional publishing system that exploits writers in favor of one where people directly pay the authors.

it seems like it just uses the API??? idk readme says they have moved on to another project that I can’t find the sources for, the gitlab just has the APKs. but if it’s just as simple as using the API I would be freaking stunned there wasn’t more widespread abuse of it.

that’s fair. I think they are approaching it as archivists rather than as gamers - preserving cuktur artifacts regardless if they’re good or not

@GreenCrush
I read it as them saying it’s a good thing and sort of tiptoeing around piracy, as academics do
