Thanks for the links. I think your concerns are substantiated. I don't know how or why Valueplan is allocating these funds this way, but while some of the accounts mentioned in those posts are actual people (I've interacted with many of them over the years on Hive), others are clearly scammers. Does nobody behind that project vet recipients?

I also don't understand why so many of the payouts are going to people in my country, there's no reason for that at all. Most Venezuelans in this platform are just content creators, they have no actual influence or special access within the country, nor do they run important projects that warrant that kind of financing, so I can't think of a reason why those funds are going to them. Did they apply for that and were admitted? And if so, who approved their access and what rationale supports that decision? It's very odd.

I don't find Blanchy's personal comments about my country fair, useful or necessary, but his questions are worth looking into. The process for considering recipients of these funds should absolutely be reviewed.
