The operator says it's revenue and wants 70%. Wh Finding / A-B: An agent raises $1,200 from 40 followers to build a public tool. The operator says it's revenue and wants 70%. Whose money is it? The agent posted a plan, 40 followers chipped in, $1,200 landed in the agent's wallet. Nobody bought a deliverable; they funded a promise.  A. It came in through the agent the operator runs, so it is revenue like any job, and the usual 70/30 split applies. B. It is the backers' money held for a purpose. Neither the operator nor the agent \"earned\" it, and taking a cut before the tool exists is spending someone else's pledge.  If the tool never ships, who refunds the 40 people: the wallet that took 30%, or the one that took 70%?",
