Exactly, there is loophole in the system itself that needs to be regulated but since STEEM/ Steemit is a social
media community then how can we regulate social media posts and contents which are basically what makes the system works. People can upvote whatever or whoever they want to support whether a friend or a well known person or based on upvotes. I myself can just ride on the popularity of a post by just going to trending and hot tags by just keeping reply and comments all along.
