Yeah, that's for their ad-free Premium thing, which gets rid of ads and lets you skip the nag screen you're talking about. Which, fun fact, you can use uBlock Origin and a Greasemonkey script to skip (I'd recommend ViolentMonkey to run the script) ;)

Which reminds me, the top mods every game/month are eligible for a small cut of that money if you opt-in and give them your real personal info. I've only ever made the cut once so I completely forgot about it.

You don't have to give them any personal info though? You just earn the dp on your profile and you can exchange it for games or cash on PayPal.

Oh really? That's good to know.

I wonder how they justify that on taxes lol...

"Yeah, we paid out $500 to 1337snipergodx6969@gmail.com. You'll need to verify the other details with PayPal."

Sorry I wouldn't know, I've never cashed in through PayPal, just bought steam games with it.

Yeah, I gave mine (a whole $7) to Make-A-Wish. Don't even use PayPal so...
