I posted this comment on a similar thread, but I will share it again here:
I agree. I am a fairly new expert having only joined this year, but even at the pay scale we currently were at, $10 a question for a dog or cat is measly enough, and not having a well-thought-out and explained tier scale that apparently makes it nearly impossible to reach Platinum status to be paid a whopping $11 per question is not worth my time as an expert. If this site would like to continue to have value, I would in turn appreciate being valued by my employers here. As veterinarians we have all gone through extensive schooling, 8 years of arduous study, and the questions here are seldom straightforward or easy to answer, with frequent client and veterinarian back and forth before achieving a true answer. Even then, there are usually many related follow up queries,and it is not uncommon to have to continue responding for a few hours to even over a span of a few days. I feel that our pay scale needs to reflect our value to the community. Perhaps Just Answer needs to require more payment from customers before taking questions, as well as making sure to take a full deposit for that question before sending it to the experts. All these things are easy to do and would benefit both experts as well as the site itself.Melissa O'Reilly

I am voting for you here as veterinarian experts are in the same vote. I will copy my response in the veterinary category here:
