If when we or someone disagrees with a post payout, IF we could signify our disagreement by downvoting the Voter and not the poster, then maybe bid bots would get a clue, if this person bids on me I am going to lose money because in the past they have had the Paid vote nullified. How long before bid bots start to say no to people. Why should the content creator be penalized for someone liking their post? If the bought and purchased votes are nullified, then the content creator is learning either post better stuff, or stop buying votes on bad stuff. Or if they do not learn, then they might learn that they can no longer buy votes, because they have been blacklisted by the bid bots.

yes, that is one good aspect that I have included in my model - penalise the perpetrator not the victim. That also works for other voting patterns such as rings, eg decrease the voter's VP more than standard and the mathematics of the game starts to look less attractive.
