So whether the paid upvotes are "advertising" or simply a way for people to make a profit, they by themselves are definitely not the problem. And frankly I use bid bots myself to make a profit, so I don't see anything wrong with that either. I think the problem people have is much deeper, and the bots bear the brunt of the anger as they are easy targets because of 1) some bad apples that take advantage of users 2) lack of transparency (but getting much better) and 3) there is a lack of consistency in enforcement of what is considered "good".

Maybe that's just it....we don't need to enforce and judge what is good so much....
that seems to be the core thing that works people up.....
it's that very judging and comparing and feeling things are more or less deserving....it's like a fucked up condition and consequence from child hood of "things aren't fair" and "how dare you"
