The only real problem that I see at the moment, is that the current algorithm used for calculating the order that posts appear in the hot category seems to be biased more towards the number of likes and comments a post has, and less towards the expected payout a post will receive. This sets up a situation where the spam up-voted comments get artificially more exposure by appearing closer to the top of the feed and other content gets less exposure than it otherwise would have.

I never use Hot so this was news to me. Hrm. Thanks for the tip.
