How it all works!

We wanted to address some questions we've been receiving since yesterday's weekly payout, and to use this opportunity to talk about our revenue sharing in general.

Spymac has new people joining every day, and the number of total uploads keeps increasing. With more uploads, there is more competition! So you're going to have to keep kicking it up a notch every month if you want to hold your position in the charts! Granted, it's hard to know your position in the charts since we currently don't reveal that information, but we're going to change that!

The Spymac Charts is where you'll be able to see who's winning the big money each month. The Charts will make Spymac feel more like a monthly-competition, because that's what the site really is! For each payout, our system automatically ranks every uploader, and the higher they are on the Charts, the larger their share of the jackpot will be. We're also working on ways to let members have more say over who wins the jackpots each month. If you know of members who SPAM, or upload copyrighted stuff, you'll be able influence their ranking and allow for higher-quality content-producers to rise to the top.

Spymac's revenue-sharing model is unique because the top uploaders get the lions-share of the weekly and monthly jackpots. If you see quality content, it's very important that you rate it and share it with your friends! Such simple actions will ensure that the members who most deserve the big jackpots will get them!
