I was arguing why managers are a necessary evil for expanding this kind of project, not for the right to exploit the tenants. I don't know what goes on at VHTV in general or with @AlexLina in particular. I hear the rumors on this forum and I was hoping that @AlexLina would clarify the situation.
So far they have chosen not to.
You're invited to be a fly on wall of 36 apartment to date. No other site in the world comes close right now.
Sure, your not interested in some/many of the apartments that are available but with the apartment quantity, and the rate they add more apartments, chances are most people will stay "entertained".
Managers are like real estate agents, you don't really need them but they provide an active service that expands the market. If managers on VHTV wouldn't be hungry to go after new tenants we would have a fraction of the quantity of houses that we have right now. The way they practice their business may have a lot of room for improvement but without them VHTV won't have the dazzling amount of content we're getting today.
Once they "find" a potential new tenant it's true that that tenant doesn't need them anymore - but without the manager the tenant wouldn't be there in the first place. For this the manager should be fairly compensated. If the manager also provides extra tools/directions to help insure the tenants' success he should be compensated appropriately for that as well.
