That sort of thing is outside of their scope. That was the impetus of starting @flagawhale. It's a differenct approach but emphasis is on reward manipulation like Haejin for example.
Even without the bots, you have collusive voting so there's that. Very complex issues may require more sophisticated solutions but the manipulators are so well entrenched. For someone like me to catch up, seems like the only way is to drink the bid bot Kool Aid. But do the ends justify the means. That's the question I have yet to draw a conclusion.
Yes, I cry a lot, when I see all that high reward spam here, that I cannot report, because it is just simple farming. especially on dtube..
