Most people don't look at posts that have small upvotes.
I do just the opposite.
If a post has more than 1stu, I won't vote it.
I don't care how much it has to read it, but more is not better, imo.
We would have many more users if nobody voted posts with more than a few stu.
Putting a .05stu vote on a post with 25stu in payout is just silly.
Give that nickel to somebody that needs it, iyam.
I got no real problem with buying bid bot votes for others.
As long as the author doesn't buy it, and it's not an abuse vector, it's ok in my book.
I'm on mememonday #31.
I'll have to remember to add that tag.
