Yup, I suspect a lot of the votes are from bots... I take them as compliments - signs that my contribution is appreciated in a general sense, but it's a shame that they don't reflect the perceived value of the individual posts themselves. I love market signals and like to see them as clearly as possible... I guess that's why I welcome flags. They're just as valuable when they actually signify the opinions of the viewers.

The vote "number" is sybil attack-able, which is why I have been advocating it to be removed. It provides a false sense of support for a post. My reply was REALLY not worth 100 upvotes, but there it is; because I decided to use 100 sybils.
Brilliant point! I could totally get behind that.
