They do not get anything for hosting a mod on Steam. You are ignorant if you believe they do. At least you know the person who placed the mod on Steam is the mod owner.

I do not think you know anything about how Workshop works! The moddeur is also remunerated, as on any hosting site! So the Creative Commons law is bypassed, and this is punishable! I speak as a creator, so I know the subject well! Especially when someone bypasses money in the back of an author!
So before answering anything in total ignorance, take the time to educate yourself a minimum! It’s because of people like you that the community of creators goes out and stops moddering!

There is no reward for the author when you subscribe to a mod on the workshop. Nothing goes to them at all.

I do see credit was given to those who have had a hand in making this truck just like it has in the description on the workshop. I believe the description here was just copied and pasted from the workshop page to this posting.
Just because someone else uploaded this mod to this site and others in no way means they are looking to take credit for it. They are just making a few pennies off the download,that is it.
Also keep in mind that some (well maybe a couple) of modders DO upload their mods to sites like this one on their own accord.

Steam is still the best place to get mods like this one because they auto update to your PC if the author makes changes for whatever the reason. The drawback to that is yes,if the author wishes to pull his mod off the workshop,you lose it as well which has happened.

Sites like these serve a purpose because not every mod that is made can go on the workshop. They get rejected if they have errors so they get uploaded here along with mods that are elsewhere (either workshop,video or Facebook) which tend to #### off the authors of those mods.

Sincerely, I prefer to retrieve it on Steam, because the author is rewarded directly! On Sharemods, the uploader is SimulatorMods, and does not correspond to any creator credited! In addition, several mods proposed by this author lambda exist on Steam under properties of different modders! How can 5 creators use the same nickname?

– BS1

These mods are on the Steam Workshop, how can they be stolen, you ####!

But, folks don’t like downloading stuff from Steam, I want to be able to get things from 3rd party websites like this one, so, stop interfering.
