I think VP recharge was broken for a while. It's suppose to recharge at 20% per day, but I noted a couple days where it recharged an order of magnitude less than that.
Rather than limiting peoples ability to vote for posts they like, even if it is from the same author each day, we need a way to get rid of bots curating, period. I don't want to live in a community where AI votes to promote the content I depend on. The bottom line is that people instill value in content. That value isn't money, but ideas. Bots only farm $.
We need to return curation to curators. Bots are cancer.
