One reason I'm enjoying this platform is because I've actually built relationships here with authors and artists and philosophers I enjoy. I never had a problem with vote buying myself, but then I started realising most new persons just go to trending and upvote whatever they see there. It's quite sad, but I believe that if the platform prevails, these random voters will slowly filter out (they really can't be enjoying the platform, can they?) and the number of real content curators will increase. As long as the real content creators keep doing their thing and don't get discouraged.

You would think, but here's the thing, this has only increased in the eighteen months since they instituted payouts on the platform, and right now, it's not that hard for even a middle class American to pay their bills from what can be earned here, so the draw is pretty strong. I don't think it will correct itself. I think they need to move posts with paid, or bot votes, to a different category.
