Hmm. But is it really that uncomplicated?
Thinking of it, I once more have to question one of your casual remarks. Because there are various methods by which the money could be divided among the participants, and I actually don’t know which method VHTV uses. I also don’t know if VHTV wants us to know. Maybe @kaya could enlighten us?
Of the money I pay for my annual subscrption, the lion’s share goes to VHTV. For the ease of discussion, let’s ignore that share for now and only talk about the share that goes to the managers (a whole other can of worms, that) and participants.
Idealy, I think, my money should only go to the paticipants that I watch.
Let’s say I subscribe for a year and don’t watch VHTV at all. Only on three days I go online and watch for one hour, twice I watch Ariela, once Marianthi. In a perfect world 2/3 of my money for that year should go to Ariela, 1/3 to Marianthi, shouldn’t it? But that is probably not how it works, I cannot really expect VHTV and the participants to wait for a year to find out how to perfectly split up my money.
A reasonable approximation would be for VHTV to log my viewing activity over shorter periods of time (A month, a week, or only a day?), and distribute my money according to whom I watched for how long.
Maybe the easiest version would be for VHTV to just take all the money that is to be distributed in a given time period, let’s say a day, so that would be 1/365 of my annual fee and all of your’s, too, and divide it between the realms according to which viewing percentages they had on that day.
Given a large enough number of viewers, overall that is an approximation of what the more precise methods would mean for income of the participants. Only the less VHTV you watch, the less impact your preferences have. Your money just goes to whomever everybody else is watching. It could lead us to just have a tab of our favorite realm open 24/7, regardless of if were even in the house, so our darlings get what they deserve. VHTV’s webmasters sure would like that. 
It confirms what I suspected: Essentially, managers are unnecessary. In my opinion it would be completely sufficient to have a technician who handles the renting or selling as well as the installation of the equipment.
