You paying for a vote is paying for visibility. It's not "cheating" the system to upvote your own post either, actually, that's one of the reasons for Steem Power. If it was "cheating" to do that then they wouldn't have made a check box to upvote yourself when posting a new blog post. It's not cheating the system, it's designed that way.
It's not cheating. As I said:

Use of bots is what I call cheating. Self upvoting is a right gained from rewards for curation or authorship or investment. Upvoting bots be definition cheat the system. As far as I'm concerned I see steemit as an innovative leader of the pack but ultimately a failed experiment.
Cheat the system... right?
It's not cheating the system

The system is meant to be good content gets noticed and rated. Buying votes is cheating the curation to the point steemit is a joke.
