@Jesse I guess that you reply to my post. It is useful because this thread is like a guideline. Yes, you are right about each uploader didn't get paid for many reasons and Some uploader get paid from some filehost that list in this thread.
I'm one of those who get paid too.
Guideline is always useful for the newbie. After that, they need to find more information before they make decision.
But they are not guidelines at all. they are random shots in the dark and nothing more.
