I wish they actually put the info in some sort of useful format instead of the high glitz low info format they did. For instance. List the top 10 countries ordered by payouts and number of contributors - or list them all. Have a graph with number of items for sale compared to payouts. etc.

I can see why they might not want to reveal that data, but as it is they are only providing a few chosen points that don't really say much. For instance, they list countries 3 and 5, but not any of the other top ones. I was surprised how little they pay out to the US though.

Europe $59,323,000 pop. 742.45 million (2013)
Asia $12,047,000 pop. 4.43 billion (2014)
The America's $10,487,000 pop 953.70 million (July, 2013)

WOW! Europe is a powerhouse, if based on population?
