I spent a year making a 9-hour course on the proof of Fermats Last Theorem

I made a 9-hour video that tries to explain the mathematical skeleton of the proof of Fermats Last Theorem, starting from roughly high-school-level mathematics. Video: https://youtu.be/9f-hGSh8lF0?si=CIUhOnf89-M5w3W8 PDFs...

How much recognition/reward would a human researcher receive for the counterexample to the Jacobian Conjecture?

Hypothetically let's assume that a human math researcher had come up with the counterexample (along with a class of counterexamples similar to the one given...
