Yep: Google alternative that shares revenue with creators

From their About Yep page: "We built Yep from the ground up so that we can give 90% of ad revenue to content creators."

And yet there is nowhere around the site explaining how creators can claim that "revenue".

Think SEO spam is a problem now? Wait until "creators" are paid per their SERP

I was thinking the same thing. I don't see how paying creators directly disincentivizes SEO spam.

Would it be so bad if "creators" showed up higher than content farm SEO'd corporate blog posts?

We start from the hard problem - search itself. When we are happy with a search results we will add ads and revenue share. There is no revenue to share at the moment.
