I love your comment, I think all the points you made are fantastic and I appreciate your upvote 2 cents, 10 cents, any amount it always appreciated!

I will only reply to the final part, with my thoughts on the matter:

"As far as Splinterlands Art contest I see both of your points yes there is clear extraction going on, the question is if the art that is being created for this contests is worth for Splinterlands to pay these artists from South America?"

Splinterlands Created a Contest with "Guidelines". People from all over can and should compete!

The second part of the question is tough to answer because it is very subjective:

"Is the art being created worth it for Splinterlands to 'pay' these artists"

Not sure... not sure why we have the Art Contests... I like them. I think the art generated by the artists is top tier!

But we don't really have a place that I know of to display said art... and I am not sure what we are doing with said art once it is generated...

Because I don't know the why and the what there... it is impossible for me to say if it is or isn't worth paying those artists... especially since they don't play the game or stake any Hive :(
