I’m setting this topic to close in 2 hours.
@epiphyte78 this is the second topic of yours that I’ve felt the need to close due to it not being constructive any longer. This forum is for constructive discussions (see the Forum Guidelines), and your arguments are in the territory of bad faith ones - they are repetitive, very long, and there really isn’t a give and take here. It’s sucking up a lot of energy and good will from other members of the community without adding anything new.
Finally, I’ll just say that the donation-based system your proposing is not something that iNaturalist will likely do, for the many reasons that have been espoused here.
