This is super helpful! I'm a little concerned about the platform getting overrun by bots and junk content rising to the top instead of the best of the best rising to the top. However, I'm not going to avoid taking a "leg up" here and there when I can.
For example, this post already has 518 votes but only 116 views. Luckily, it's a great post and deserves the upvotes but there are plenty of junk posts that rise to the top that shouldn't due to bots.
It will be interesting to see how it all plays out.
