Define "cheater who takes advantage of other peoples work".Mmmm... I felt a bit identified with this definition... Let me explain, without acrimony or bad vibes, please, it's not a criticism of anyone, it's just my five cents.
Personally, I start from the basis that I cannot make harsh demands on something that has been given to me. Totally free. Maybe it's that I'm not so picky about the little flaws that a mod may have (absolute perfection doesn't exist), especially if it's a mod from one of my favorite modders, but I insist again, many do it for free! Also, as a general rule, when these small bugs are reported politely, the modder usually fixes them.
And regarding to modders earning money with his work, well, I don't see it as a bad thing, and also, I think it's something that regulates itself; if you're a really good modder, people will end up recognizing you and rewarding you in some way. If you're a cheater who takes advantage of other people's work, people will find out about it and leave you behind. And I think that after a short time in this sim things, we all know who can be forgiven for small "sins" and who cannot be forgiven...

That in strict terms rules out anyone who converts or mods a track or car, Ilija, anyone who makes trees/grass, greener/less green.
Basically 99% of anything people post on here.
I'm currently moved onto to making my own tracks, yet i still use props from other tracks, so what even is scratch made? Every tree hand crafted? Every tyre wall?
People reward others for various reasons, you only need to look at some of the patreon pages to see that if you pay more they offer stuff like 'special gold badge', pathetic things that register with people and make them feel a bit more special than the next guy.
This can be extrapolated into the wider world then you get 'prime' energy drink.....for example.
Its pathetic but easily ignored, there is a world based on removing money from peoples pockets and AC is no different.
Nukedrop to go back to him has video's where he tells you in great detail how to make the tracks yourself.
I'd urge people to do that personally as its much more rewarding (it does get tiresome though).
Bending over backwards and begging and paying people and making false prophets of them (no pun intended) in the hope they will do something you want or they will credit you for a different coloured tree you laboured over. That's not my game.
I'd take nukedrops posts any day over the
"oh hi guys i really wish someone would put this into AC its my favourite track"
or "look a t rex ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
Further to that much of the patreon stuff can be found for free if you know where to look, and even if you didn't want to do that you can sign up for a one off (cancel after first month) and get all the stuff that the fools have been paying for for months!
