Interesting insight for vote buying, I did buy votes from the mentioned randowhale as well and the votes were like 10% more than what I paid for. And you are right, with that in mind, it can vote anything, regardless of the quality of content, which may jeapordise the content making environment. However, being a minnow, getting attention is hard enough, and getting good upvotes are even harder. That’s why there are always demand out there, getting some remuneration for their works (at least earned that extra 10%). It’s still an experiment that worth to think further deep down.
