Read HN's welcome:
"As a rule, a community site that becomes popular will decline in quality."
Your top 2 Receivers have never contributed anything of value to the community (this is subjective, I know but the majority would agree with me) and yet they receive an amount most others would dream of receiving.
Yes, a person has the privilege of doing whatever they want with their money but your website is endorsing bad actions so I won't support it.
Just because the amount you payed out increased, it doesn't mean that (community & value wise) it isn't half dead.
Sorry, this is my opinion.
