Thank you. Couldn't this be a problem if people opened several accounts and then used them to upvote each other? Wouldn't that drain money from the system to those individuals who exploited this unfair advantage?

Sure. Hence my post. But it's limited to the stake they managed to collect.

But even if they receive nothing for free..

If for an example a user opens up two accounts and then deposits 50/50 to each out of his total budget. Then he goes on to use each account to upvote the other. That will make him earn the upvote + curation rewards. The curation rewards would not be included had he upvoted himself with one account only.

Wouldn't that drain the system somewhat?

Yes. But you risk flags if your posts are bad. Never forget to flag bad posts.
