Because then someone could create 100,000 fake accounts, upvote their own posts to trending, and make themselves rich at the expense of everyone here.
I see your point, but I don't think it would make them rich. It would cost alot for the author's 100k fake accounts to upvote, no?
No, upvoting is free.
