It's also important to note that buying upvotes usually pays back. As in, you get what you paid in SBD and SP and don't lose anything by "recycling" your SBD to give your posts more exposure.

For selfish reasons, it pays off.
If I decide my artwork is the best, on my own, and pay for votes to place my work at the top every day... what will the other artists think of me? It's not them who will be eager to support my work. Over time I'd just end up being an informercial for art instead of an artist.
On Youtube, we skip the ad so we can view the content. I don't want to turn my blog into an ad that gets skipped.
If other artists were to attempt to compete, they'd have to purchase votes as well. If $1200 becomes the new $0, $1200 worth of our tokens becomes worthless to all except those who sell the votes. In this case, those are advertisers who win. Everyone else loses.
That's a huge sacrifice to make just for a bit of exposure.
