I can even tell you these guys with big votes are lazy I had a discussion with one of them and he actually told me to point him out a couple of good authors so he could vote for them, damn he doesn't even want to read.

That would be me except that I get about 40 cents in autovotes, not $5. My own maximum vote value is about 6 cents. About 70% to 90% of the vote value coming my way comes from manual curators.

There you are bitching again and distorting the facts. First you complain that there are plenty of quality authors who aren't getting shit. I ask you to tell me who they are so that I can vote for them - and bring their work to the attention of the heavy hitters. You fail to produce a single author you consider to be under-rewarded. Now you bitch that I asked you to point out a couple of such authors because I'm too lazy to look for them myself. LOL
