I agree. There are some major fundamental flaws that people are exploiting for huge gain that are destroying this platform.

You have people like Haejin that has multiple accounts irrationally supporting him where his 20 min video is being upvoted to a tune of $150 within a minute of posting. They aren't even attempting to hide the scam they have going on. Yet people still mindlessly follow him and provide positive feedback, etiher because they are too dumb to realize what is going on or they hope that he will upvote them (not likely since he pretty much only upvotes himself).

Some of these issues could be easily fixed, some are more complicated. Trying to fix some of these issues could create new ones. I think any system where people police themselves are almost destined for failure.
