That's an interesting one. Burning your bid, as it's only 'promotion', and sounds good for starters.

I wonder what the max people would be willing to set alight to top that page? First thoughts are not much, and also the big numbers that presumably Steemit inc like to show the world would reduce.

Sadly I don't think they'll die, fewer sends means more profit for those that do - who will not care about promotion. The bid-bot dark web fueled by owner/delegator bids was my guess a few months ago.

We can, either by ourselves or using this new bot that I've forgotten the name of. However, the flags from us are small in comparison, and the whales who used to police are sold out

Baah! I'm over it, for today at least.

I'm not sure how changing the page would then make it more reasonable to downvote as abuse? It's getting late here though and my brain is frazzled.

As far as self-voting abuse, since the top earner on Steemit is doing it(and no-one can stop him), many of the accounts that could, by working together, have opted to do the same - via alts. zzzzzzzzzzzzz
