They have the power of final edit, so they'll make you look like an idiot. Or worse, they like you and your pisstake, which affirms that you are a gimmick that can be commercially exploited. The kid in the country wants to think he's special, because he feels he's the only one who knows about 10k. The whole exercise will just cheapen you. And by paying AGT out, you acknowledge they are a threat or a force to be reckoned with.
STOP DISCOURAGING THIS.
