Thank you for pointing this out... however, we already do have a helpful solution: downvotes. By spreading this awareness we can downvote articles that are getting bot upvoted etc. A downvote doesn't necessarily mean you don't like the article, it just means you want to affect a redistribution of the rewards. Downvote articles that are botvoted.
