Yeah and it's definitely frustrating as a new user when you don't understand vote buying and seeing some of the crap on the trending page. You think to yourself, why should I stay on the platform when this crap gets lots of money and posts I put hours of time and effort into only gets a few cents even after months of being here.
Well you can't earn anything on a post after 7 days, but that's a separate issue. Those who buy votes don't even make a huge profit, but it detracts from real engagement. Those selling votes are the real winners.

Agreed

Yep.
I was just saying new people on the platform don't understand he's not making huge profit from vote buying. They just see the dollar amount under the post and don't understand why they aren't making that much on there posts I guess was my point.
It's always been a problem (which is why I never look at it). It will stay a problem whilst you can pay for votes. It isn't individual users that are the problem (get rid of one and another one will fill the space). The system is rigged for crap. Either change the system or ignore the crap
It's a problem when that's the first thing new users see. They will just try to emulate him and it will all turn to crappy clickbait.

Yes, it sets wrong expectations. Unfortunately none of the whales feels like flagging him. Many of them profit from selling votes.
