I honestly think this is a minute issue compared to these "minnows" "support" "bot" "auto" thingy. They even upvote plagiarised work, then claiming their upvote is from a community of something quality. Please.

@chuckler, I kept that particular can of worms OUT of this discussion on purpose! The entire "paid votes" thing is an issue onto itself... and not a good situation. I could even see "paid upvotes" being a workable thing if they were dispensed by a human curator, but that's unlikely to happen.
Part of what we're seeing here is a struggle between "earning for merit" vs. "earning withOUT merit."
