Um yeah. Doh! for me thinking that Amazon had "merchantable quality standards" (Au law) and protected themselves against author scammers as vigorously as their algorithms "protected" them from fully paid up subscribers like me!

With the way Kindle Unlimited paid authors originally, they probably were losing money. With the new way, the author only gets paid a tiny amount each time the recipe is read, since he/she is paid based on the actual number of pages read, and this is probably only 2 pages at most. The amount paid for this "book" is truly minuscule, since the per page rate (for April) is $0.0046601941747573. So the book has to be at least 3 pages for the author to make a penny each time it's read to the end.

I’ll take that as a grassy knoll potshot since there’s no proof or link to substantiate payments or payment methods, was I not polite enough requesting verifications?
Oh yeah, you provide some here coz it’s convenient;
