This bonus pool is supplemented by donations from users and members, much in the same way a Twitch viewer might donate to a streamer whose work they value. As for Nexus Mods, it sells premium memberships; users buy them to support the modding community and gain faster downloads.
Nexus Mods says that its plans for Collections are not to make them a premium-only feature. As a comparison, downloading a list of 50 mods for Valheim took the mod staff 11 minutes as a free user; with a premium account, it took 3 minutes. That is, no one who curates a list is going to be monetarily rewarded simply for putting together that set of mods in a working order. Nexus Mods says that its API serving Collections will still individually credit mod makers for each download of their work.
The new Collections feature, they say, is also preferable to the existing practice of zipping up several mods together and distributing that — a practice that does not credit individual mod makers. There are all kinds of hypothetical reasons one could develop here, but none of those scenarios are what really seems to bother people. This controversy is about control of your work, work that has your name on it. Nexus Mods itself acknowledges that its plans for Collections present control-of-work issues that many top modders are uncomfortable with.
When you host your mods on Nexus Mods you are making them accessible to users regardless of what way they choose to download them.
