Thanks for sharing 
Welcome! Glad to have you here 
This site has been logged out
Seems to be. As I @Lurenjia mentioned, Cokey and some others have now founded https://www.magesbox.com/, teaching much of the same content.

I don’t know how to react to this. I don’t quite understand what is written there, do they expose my content as their own? I see the same thing on all Chinese sites.
I’m not saying they are, i don’t speak the language, but this is what google translate gave me
the “…” parts just made no sense so i have no idea what they are
About the payment, if I recall correctly the site have some sort of activity currency system. So if you make posts/threads etc you get points (you can probably buy them too I suppose) which you then spend to get access to tutorials etc. No idea if the users can earn something from it or if it’s mostly to get people to be active.
Some form of virtual points was my first thought too, but even then, doesn’t seem right 
Ye it feels a bit wrong, makes sense to share and translate it (if it’s translated). But it’d be wierd to take payment and not give credit to the original creator. Unless they’ve some rules for how to post tutorials with files, can’t access cgwell for some reason which I assume this is from so can’t check how things was done over there. If I recall correctly pretty much every tutorial that had files to download required at least a small payment
Not much we can do about it no matter the case except asking the poster to give credit at least.
Somehow it’s not fair, they can access my content, but I can’t access them.
same happened with me. my works shared all over on Chinese sites but they also giving me credit. but i do not understand why they upload my videos on sites. they should share my YouTube links. that will be beneficial for me.
What website is that? Magesbox?
Could you show me a link to that?

On first glance, they are not asking for payment, just for a reply.
I’m currently quite busy, so I’ll check it out later as quite a bit of our members work seems to be on there with little to no mention of the original author.
