I think Curator's job is to bring to limelight anything that's not yet seen by a wider community. In this regard, I think @photo-trail is doing their job.
Also by asking you permission to post this image and giving credit/ link to your main post I think they are maintaining a level of decorum as well. I could see in that comment that the moment you rejected their offer and they did not hustle you further, there seems to be certain standards in their approach.
All this being said, their work can come into scrutiny if:
- They continue using your images despite your objections
- They have used any of your images without prior permission
Taking a neutral stance, I don't think I'd completely agree with your thoughts on revenue sharing - it is their post after-all! Although, in my own opinion what you have mentioned would be the best (and right) thing to do by @photo-trail.
In case you have not already done this, can you please try to open a discussion with them either in discord or steem.chat or however possible to tell them why this revenue sharing will work out much better than what they are currently doing. I think if they offer to share their revenue, they would be able to get much more quality pics featured and hence higher chance of revenue.
I think using their follower power to feature your work should be reciprocated both ways; the terms can always be mutually agreed upon. If they disagree, I see an opportunity here! You can consider setting up a trail and make the most of this situation.
Apologies if this view of mine does not sound appropriate to you. But thought I will chip in anyway ;)
