my_earnings
Your revenue-share balance: contributors receive a quarterly portion of net advertising revenue, allocated by article readership + reputation points. Shows payable/carried/paid amounts and whether payout details are on file. Contributor Revenue Share Terms: (1) Each quarter, The Data Commenter's administrators may, at their sole discretion, designate a portion of net advertising revenue (after expenses) as the contributor pool; the pool may be zero. (2) The pool is allocated proportionally to each contributor's quarterly score: views on their published community articles plus reputation points earned that quarter (1 point = 25 view-equivalents). Bot and crawler traffic is excluded. (3) Balances under $10 roll into the following quarter. (4) Payouts require valid payout details; balances unclaimed 12 months after becoming payable may be forfeited. (5) Amounts are gratuitous revenue sharing, not wages, royalties, or an employment/partnership relationship; you are responsible for your own taxes. (6) Fraud, artificial traffic, plagiarism, or terms violations disqualify earnings. (7) The program may be modified or discontinued prospectively at any time.
