Are you talking about @pettycash? It's in the hands of trusted keyholders and decision makers so I don't really see the point you're trying to make nor do I understand why you have to compare it to what you did. Doesn't matter if it's devs, marketing or whatever else is being funded, we strive for a general equality on the platform where it doesn't matter where you are from as long as you do what you say you're going to do when making a proposal or asking for funding for certain events. I curate the same way, although there it's more about activity, history and other factors rather than "just being about the content", but to give you an example, and by this I don't mean to imply that that's what you meant in your comment, but I don't go around checking what a country's average GDP is before I decide what vote to reward an author with. I'm also pretty sure that while some countries are in a deep hyperinflation it doesn't mean that the costs of things has gotten cheaper along with it.
