The pay-per-post online information site Helium has raised the ire of some of its authors after proposing a new payment system. The company wants existing writers to rate more articles by requiring that they provide feedback before getting paid, and also seeks to keep writers active by freezing their earnings if they are not active for a period of six months or more. If they’re inactive for 18 months or more, they lose their earnings altogether.
