"On Sci-Net, you're using tokens directly to reward uploaders. Payments go to fellow researchers, not to the platform."

I understood that payments go to fellow uploaders, which could be random university students that just do this to "earn" tokens. So the money is still not flowing to researchers. Have I misunderstood?

I think you right. But researchers can upload their own papers. Seem to require a paying requester and the researcher has to notice the request.

While I agree this is phrased in somewhat misleading way, I think by "fellow researchers" they ment "researchers like you, user, who believe and participate in liberation of science", not "the researchers, who authored the paper you're trying to pirate".
