Since it's something that already happens and it's a known issue, it's pretty ridiculous a brand new project doesn't have some mechanism in place to prevent it.

Since it's something that already happens and it's a known issue, it's pretty ridiculous a brand new project doesn't have some mechanism in place to prevent it. Something as simple as a signed file at the site's root would let a content creator make paid links to their content but not a scammer. It's not helped that there's no preview of the content or creator's site branding to give some indication of an intentional connection between the creator and paid link.

> Something as simple as a signed file at the site's root would let a content creator make paid links to their content but not a scammer. How does anything like that help though? The scammer can download the file and host it themselves and you're right back where you started, and that's always going to be the case.
